Funerary and Memorial customs

Gozdor funerals are undertaken extremely quickly. As such, they are rarely elaborate affairs. What they always involve is a boat upon which the dead is placed, upon which a spell is place which causes the river's current to push the boat in the opposite direction. This means that the boat travels north, towards the source of all rivers. Possessions are placed in the boat, so that the dead might have something to bring with them when they meet Eknotvo.

Common Taboos

The Gozdor do not discuss death or the dead. Once someone has died, funeral arrangements are undertaken with the greatest swiftness. After the funeral takes place, the deceased is no longer referred to as though they were alive. Gozdorian has a special verb tense used for events in the distant past. This tense is never used to describe events within living memory, save when a deceased individual is involved.
