    Y'know...that's a spooky practice to add to a town in my Deadlands game.
If the players are looking for it, it's a sure sign of what's going on.  But
because they're new to the game....
    As far as that applies to HoE, I imagine cremation is really popular.
Not just for occult reasons, but I figure they were doing a lot of it after
the Last war to cut down on disease from the mass number of corpses.  Or is
it better to create mass graves?
    The questions I come up with in the pursuit of a more realistic game...
Where the heck am I gonna find an answer to the mass cremation/burial
question? ;)
