Turian Funerary Practices

A source of fascination to alien cultures, the Turians have an elaborate set of funerary practices that they believe are necessary to ensure their safe passage into the afterlife. These protocols include preserving the body of the deceased, invoking the Spirits through ritual and prayer, and burial with specific grave goods to help the spirit of the deceased retain their mortal identity. It is also customary for Turians to be interred in family vaults, located within their signature necropoli, although the scale and grandeur of such vaults is largely dependant on geographical location and a family's social stature.

The Turian burial process has changed little over the millennia. Although specific details have changed slowly over time, the preparation of the body, spiritual rituals, and grave goods all remain essential parts of a proper Turian funeral.
