Gray is the official Tolmiran color of mourning, to mirror the fog of the afterlife. Death is marked with far more ceremony than birth, if the deceased’s estate or a willing party chooses to pay for the pomp and circumstance. Funerals in Tolmira are large affairs, consisting of a procession winding its way from the house of the decedent to the graveyard, which is generally a consecrated area near a temple. The burial ceremony itself is held outside, and participants in ornate costumes and masks depicting each of the deities of the Tolmiran pantheon act out specific roles. Each of the deities must say a specific prayer to let the soul of the deceased pass into the realm of the dead.(...)

The flowers displayed at a funeral typically represent the type of death or the identity of the deceased:

Red roses for the military or death in battle
All other red flowers for murder
White for dying in sleep/old age, an imperial funeral
Yellow for disease or the priesthood
Blue for unknown cause of death
Orange for accidental death
Pink for death in childbirth
Green shoots for children/dying "before one's time"
Bare branches for suicide​
