the mage and the vessel

This is where you bury the dead...?
What's the point of this? It isn't like the dead would appreciate it.

...you're right, but I don't think we build cemeteries for the dead.
Sure, it may seem pointless to you, but... How can I describe it? It's so we can think like this:
"We will never forget you. We'll remember you every time we stand at your grave. And we won't let the fear of death, which each of us knows, stop us from living our lives. Because my friends will remember me when I'm here."
