  Hangkerim religious people believe they are part of a cicle, and when t=
hey die,
the corpe goes back to earth and the life (soul) back to the universe and=
 the
Creator. That life is like an energy that will sustain new life, either a=
s new
creatures born or as spirits.

  They believe that the life they give, will sustain the life they new, a=
nd every
good think that they perform, will make the universe, the world, the nati=
on, the
club, the family they lived in a little better, so everything good they d=
o will make
their life, even after death, worthfull.

  Every bad action is just a way of letting that the spirits of the Darks=
 and
Thunders to take over the world, and thus will make their lifes harder an=
d
worhtless. Then if more people behave evil, the universe would eventually=
 be
destroyed by the Darks and Thunders, and the life with them, if more peop=
le behave
correctly, they would help the spirits of the Creator to keep the univers=
e safe.

  After they believe that the corpe is not longer a person, they have no =
special
cult for the body. People still pray after the death person and hope his/=
her life
will continue to do good in the new form it will take. They dispose the d=
eath body
as custum and convinience dictate. In the present days the most common di=
sposal is
burning the body and sparcing the ashes on the earth.

  In the past, when some other miths were involved, they buried the bodie=
s in
catacumbs and familiar criptas, and many continue to do so for costum eve=
n if the
original miths were lost. They also disposed the bodies in the rivers or =
let them be
eaten by beasts, but with the growing population those disposals are less=
 common.
