Send-Off Carnival

Been to a Megnakken send-off?
You can't find that western little city on maps anymore.
I still remember, the people would dress the deceased in the finest clothing,
paint the most intricate makeup on corpses, and adorn caskets with fresh flowers and fragrances.
The circus performs in full swing on stage and close friends laugh heartily in the audience,
their grief measured in decibels.
This rave continues for three days and nights. As the performance reaches its climax, the corpse is cremated in flames.
Everyone would sing and dance around the pyre as a final farewell.
This tradition stems is rooted in their unique religion,
for they believe that Thanatos is but Zagreus in disguise.
