Burial practices of hermetically sealed caskets, embalming, and the mortuary business exists, but do not thrive, in Uantir. While these traditional methods are not illegal or even frowned upon, the naturalistic culture of native Uantiri dispose them towards a more holistic approach to burial. Uantiri care for the remains of their family and friends personally and either bury them themselves or transport them to the pyres or hospitals. The majority of people are cremated, and ceremonial sites equipped with human pyres as well as more expedient crematorium devices are as prolific as cemeteries are in America or England. Those who do not cremate and choose to have a burial are generally interred on private property, though most communities have public burial groves. Uantiri are wrapped in cotton or linen shrouds and buried directly into the ground. Coffins are seldom used and graves are marked by saplings of the person’s favorite tree and metal plaques instead of headstones.
