Wakari Death Memorials

Centuries ago, the The Wakari Coast flesh temples were the stuff of legend.
While rumor across the continent described the flesh temples in salacious terms, full of beautiful priestesses for hire and other vices, this was almost entirely a misunderstanding. The truth made for much less louche storytelling and so was modified along the way, and in some fairness, the phrase "flesh temple" was confusing in its original translation.
In fact, the tradition was to honor the body as a sacred vessel. The religious view of the body as a lesser temple for the divine, along with the obligation to be grateful for the body one received, led to practices of conscientious wellness and offerings in gratitude.
An adherent might offer a painting of a runner, or present a dance within the temple confines, or donate to honor his parents' gift of a healthy body and to fund care for those with less healthy bodies. (It is believed that women dancing in grateful worship, art depicting gymnastic feats, and other practices likely gave rise to some of the salacious rumors.) In addition, the observance of death and the care of the body was important. Bodies were laid to rest in the temple, intact or cremated, and the manner of their passing was recorded publicly.
With time, this aspect of religious practice faded, and conscientious gratitude for one's body was no longer a key component of Wakari worship. The rites of death persisted, however.
Even today, a Wakari temple will have walls of inscriptions, for the wealthy, and books upon books, for those who cannot afford stone inscriptions, listing the dates and locations of local families' deaths. It is said, when stories are told at night, that those whose deaths are not remembered may walk as ghosts, unsettled and forgotten.
Whether or not one believes in ghosts, it is true that publicly recording a death is considered the minimum of respect for a funerary rite. Families often list names together, but that is not always expected.
