Void RH I would like to know about a specific rite i haven't been able to find..the funeral rite. I suppose i should explain by starting with i was born into the lifestyle. I remember a long time ago that we had held several different kinds, by fire, water, and burial. But i have forgotten the words that my Tassna had spoken, but they meant a lot more than any "whatever-have-you" religion. I was wondering if there were any specific phrasings to use for the passing of a dear friend. I would ask my Tassna, but she had left before i came of age and haven't been able to speak to her since.

Answer

There is very little written about actual funeral rites.
And what is written is already here at ~The Gorean Cave~.
I put a link to it for you here.
One time is the funeral for Tarl Cabot in Book 5 and the other is the funeral for Ivar Forkbeard in Book 9.
