Elves are like any other living being and when they pass away, they are buried in a traditional elf manner. Elf burials are often held in small family plots or cemeteries, usually with simple headstones and sometimes a few flowers or other offerings left behind by loved ones. The burial ceremony itself is often led by a senior elf who offers prayers and reflections on the life of the deceased. Some elves may choose to be cremated instead, with their ashes scattered over a special location that holds special meaning for them.
