Waterdeep - Undertaking
Undertaking is a full-service funerary business located on the corner of Andamaar's Street and one of the entrances to the City of the Dead. The business has been owned by the Price family for over 200 years. The current proprietor is a tall, sallow-skinned human named Vincent. In Waterdhavian society, the cost of a funeral service varies depending on the lifestyle that was maintained by the deceased. Any level of service can be arranged by the deceased's family or estate. However, diverging from what is appropriate will negatively affect the social standing of the family or estate. Charitable individuals or groups may pay for a Poor funeral to those who cannot afford it.
