Xhí' people

Funerals
The Xhí' incinerate the deceased due to the cold and harsh weather of their homelands, and to prevent epidemics. They leave small tombs at the place where the incineration takes place. The Ancient Xi bone heritage tradition has been replaced with genealogical written records kept by shamans.

Unlike in other Xi cultures, it is common to use the bones of a dead horse to build tombs, altars and memorials.
