Mar 30, 2017 at 23:49 comment added Kat The first point could be extended in that this society has a tradition of not only allowing their dead to be raised, but it being viewed as the "honourable use for dead bodies". Unlike how in our society, where we prefer to have the dead be untouched, their society could prefer the dead to be used, eg, to protect a village from attackers. So it wouldn't merely be an "acceptable funerary choice", but the norm (akin to being drafted into an army).
