Name a fictional character who is dead (and walking) for the majority of the work. 5. Name a grave/tomb/mausoleum that is more famous as a structure than it is for who’s buried there. 6. Name someone whose burial spot is still visited by admirers. 7. Name a famous cemetery. 8. Other than a U.S. President, name a type of person whose body would be on display (lying in state) after death. 9. Name a popular movie with a memorable death scene. 10. Name a non-Western or historic way of disposing of the dead. (i.e., anything but burial or cremation). Real Answers 1. mourners 2. Andy Taylor 3. Night of the Living Dead 4. The Mummy 5. Taj Mahal 6.

Twin Towers? 6. see above (sorry, too soon?) 7. Davey Jones’ Locker 8. ETs in Area 51? 9. Serenity (“He killed me Mal,with a sword. Isn’t that weird?” 10. This one was harder than it seemed ar first. Viking funerals are out - burning ships count as cremation, right? Burial at sea? No, it’s right there in the name. Recycling into the compost heap is another form of burial, as is entombing. I’ve told my brother to drag me up onto the mountaintop and let the wolves eat me, which is less than traditional, but probably not a very good feud answer. ---
