Funerals were rare occasions for Changelings. Not because of mortality rates, as Changelings died every day, but because they were reserved for only the most esteemed members of the hive. Only a select few outside of a queen herself would ever be granted a funeral. The deceased would be encased in a cocoon formed of the mucus of those closest to them, which would then be lit on fire during the ceremony, with hopes that the fallen would emerge renewed in the afterlife, stronger than before.
