Funeral and Mourning Traditions in Duria Dynasty

The Duri's religious worldviews are most influential in funeral traditions, and these traditions have a large place in life.
In Duria, as much as marriages are community rituals that involve everyone, funerals are just as much family-based, introverted rituals.

Execution

Funeral

The funeral rituals are performed at the altars belonging to the Judge, and the Judge is prayed that the deceased will be worthy of a fair trial and that the good that the deceased has done during their life will ultimately outweigh at the trial at the afterlife.
There are households in major cities that make use of the Queen's altars for funeral rituals.
Afterwards, the dead are cremated and the ashes are collected in a covered clay vase and entrusted to the person closest to the deceased to properly scatter the ashes to nature.
It is thought that the soul of a person whose ashes are not scattered to nature [toss in the wind, pour in a running water, bury in the ground, etc.] is stuck in this world. The process of scattering ashes should be done within 6 months at the latest after the funeral; However, if the death of the deceased is unexpected, such as child and youth deaths, this period may exceed to 1 year. On the Day of the Dead [30th Kleer] no ashes are scattered.

Mourning

The period until the ashes are released is the mourning process for the household. Throughout the process, a rug with dragon motifs is hung in front of the house, this indicates that the house is going through the Judge's scales. During this period, it cannot be requested to be a guest for the family.
