Interment
The  Corpse of any pilgrim who has Permanently Died will decompose into a  Skeleton in about 24 hours. To make the most of your Inheritance is important to recover and protect the Skeleton of your ancestors. With the Larceny Skill learned, pilgrims can right-click and select "Desecrate" to permanently Destroy your Skeleton after a couple of Days, preventing you from Interring your Skeleton or Paying Respects. Desecrating a Skeleton will give you that Skeleton's  Pilgrim's Skull but will leave  Larceny Scents. The best way to protect your Skeleton is to inter it under a  Tombstone or inside a  Crypt. NOTE: A Skeleton can be  Lifted, but can NOT be loaded into Landcraft or Watercraft.
How to Bury your Pilgrim
- Build a
 Coffin.
- Lift your Skeleton and right-click in on the Coffin.
- Lift your Coffin and right-click the ground and select "Bury".
- This will Bury the Coffin and replace it with a Tombstone.
WARNING! A Tombstone is subject to Grave Robbing - a criminal can  Dig up your Coffin and retrieve your Skeleton.

Paying Respects
Interring a dead pilgrim, made from the same account as yours, allows you to Pay Respects to them once every 10 hours, by selecting the appropriate  Any Flower and right-clicking in on their Tombstone or on the pedestal inside their Crypt. Each time you do this you will receive 10% of the difference between your Proficiency and theirs, based on the Flower you chose.
NOTE: Currently there is no Flower that gives  Cloak & Dagger or  Herbs & Sprouts.
Grave Robbing
WARNING! Robbing a Grave will leave Summonable Evidence that may result being sent to the Stocks or worse, and adds a huge amount of Insanity!
Once the Skill Grave Robbing has been learned, equipping  Any Shovel and using the Dig action onto the stem of a Tombstone will disinter the Buried Coffin. This will leave Larceny  Scents.
