* In ''[[Harkovast]]'', the Darsai perform a funeral rite of burying the dead, drinking beer and singing. The bodies of The Nameless (their enemies), they simply burn, since they do not view them as people. Chen-Chen, a Tsung-Dao, finds the concept of burying bodies in the holes in the ground very odd, as her people normally burn their dead.

* ''[[Brawl in the Family]]'' uses this as a gag in ''[http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/?p=223 Stomp]'', as a form of [[Player Punch]]/[[You Bastard]] to anyone who's ever played a [[Super Mario Brothers|Mario]] game.

* ''[[Digger]]'', by Ursula Vernon: The Hyena-people eat a portion of the deceased's liver (and possibly other organs) to symbolize that the dead continue on in the memories of the living. How the deceased died, and at who's hands, is also very important - being killed by a member of their own race is practically taboo, and the representative sent to find out who had killed one of their warriors almost has a [[Heroic Breakdown]] when she finds out that the folks who did it were also Hyenas. Resolving this so that the warrior is still considered to have been treated with respect is a major plot point and results in the main character (Digger, a wombat) having to eat a chunk of hyena liver {{spoiler|and getting rather ill afterwards; wombat bodies aren't carnivores, and carnivore liver is fairly toxic anyways.}}

** The "skins", lizards that dwell in the cave system where {{spoiler|He-Is's heart is kept}}, honor the dead by taking, tanning, and tattooing their skin as an artifact. {{spoiler|After Ed's death, Digger allows them to honor him this way, since Ed had befriended the skins as a fellow tattoo artist.}}
