A common belief among many ancient cultures is that the dead will need food, material goods, and servants in death as they did in life. These are often their actual servants who are Buried Alive with their master (willingly or not, although sometimes symbolic representations are used), or in some cases the people they've killed. This can also apply to belongings like money and weapons (often a Wrecked Weapon, the logic being that the dead can't use "living" weapons) or pets. Naturally, the concentration of such wealth leads to Robbing the Dead. Do not confuse with necromancy, where the (un)dead person and household are still part of the material world. Compare Together in Death, Human Sacrifice, and Your Soul Is Mine!. Contrast All Are Equal in Death. See also Duty That Transcends Death, Viking Funeral, and Coins for the Dead. Do not confuse with Ghost Butler or Can't Take Anything with You. No Recent Examples, Please! |

In Mort, one of the souls Mort has to collect when Death goes missing is a handmaiden in a Tsortean pyramid who was poisoned so she could spend eternity serving the king. Ysabell tells her she doesn't have to, and she replies that she's been training for it. | |

This is the fate of sinners in the Disgaea multiverse. Their souls are sewn into penguin-like suits to make a being called a "Prinny" that then has to earn its way back to reincarnation. Those who committed less severe transgressions still go to Celestia, though they're the ones who do the Angels' scut work until the accrue enough hours to earn rebirth. The truly vile serve in the various Netherworlds, required to buy their absolution, and therefore subject to whatever abuse a demonic employer cares to heap on a captive workforce, be it grunt work, serving as Cannon Fodder, or even getting tossed at the enemy to exploit the cheap suit's explosive properties. Being that they're an endless supply of faceless mooks who intrinsically deserve it, both varieties end up being the franchise's collective Butt-Monkey. | |

Alix: When a Gaul chieftain dies during a migration, his tribesmen spend time diverting a waterfall from its course to bury him there, with every man tossing a weapon into the waterfall once the dam is broken down. Alix is gifted a magnificent horse by Caesar before heading on a mission. It's prophesied that he and the horse won't be together long, and at the end of the story, he defuses a diplomatic situation by agreeing to give up the horse to be killed for a dead chieftain's tomb. |

Straightaway Helgi orders his old enemy Hunding (who, having been killed by Helgi, is already in Valhall) to serve the other warriors in Valhall and do menial work, like kindling the fire, watching the horses, and feeding the pigs ("Second Poem of Helgi Hundingsbani"). | |

Seven Missionaries: Thorgild's wife Freyja intends to have the titular monks accompany her husband's corpse on his funeral ship. Due to a series of coincidences, misinterpreted gestures, and clashing personalities, the funeral ends with every Viking convinced that the monks have miraculous powers and convert to Christianity. Not that it stops them from raiding monasteries, which is why the missionaries were sent in the first place. | |

Discworld: At the end of Men at Arms, the wreckage of the gonne is slipped into Cuddy's casket so he'll have a weapon with which to face the afterlife. Pyramids: Ptraci is a dancing girl meant to be sacrificed to serve Teppic's father in the afterlife, but after Teppic convinces her not to take poison, she breaks out of the mindset and ends up ruling the country. His father's ghost is quite glad she wasn't sacrificed, because Ptraci is his daughter and her singing is such that the world seems a better place once she stops. Inverted with Crusty Caretaker Albert (formerly Alberto Malich), once a powerful wizard, who hit on the idea of performing a Death-summoning rite backwards to keep Death away from him. Instead it summoned him directly to Death's domain, where he now lives forever as Death's manservant (with a few days off every now and then to buy necessities like soap). In Mort, one of the souls Mort has to collect when Death goes missing is a handmaiden in a Tsortean pyramid who was poisoned so she could spend eternity serving the king. Ysabell tells her she doesn't have to, and she replies that she's been training for it. Dwarves bury their dead with axes, for their road through the afterlife. They don't believe in demons... but this is just in case the demons don't know about it. |

Judge Dee: "Necklace and Calabash": After acknowledging his plot's failure, the grand eunuch takes poison and gives the judge a list of all the conspirators, saying they'll be his slaves in the afterlife once they're executed. "The Chinese Maze Murders'': A murdered general's son and the general's concubine commit suicide and are praised for showing such filial devotion to their father/husband. The son and concubine were lovers, with the son plotting his father's death. He failed (the general was killed by an unrelated revenge plot), but the judge makes it very clear to him that a rotten branch must be cut off to preserve a family tree, resulting in their deaths. |

In Beetlejuice, Otho jokes that people who commit suicide have to become civil servants in the afterlife. This is implied through visual gags: every spirit working in the afterlife support office bears injuries that seem to be self-inflicted, with the receptionist noting that she wouldn't have had her "little accident" (while showing off her slit wrists) if she knew what she was in for on the other side. | |

In Final Fantasy VI, while aboard the Phantom Train, Sabin orders a massive feast in the dining car much to the chagrin of Cyan who fears something might be wrong with food intended for the dead. Aside from the creepiness of being served by a Bedsheet Ghost, the food is apparently fine for both the living and dead as it fully restores the health of your living party members and any ghosts they've taken along. | |

Deconstructed in Norsemen, at the Lawsayer's funeral in season 2 Orm and Rufus who murdered the Lawsayer suggest sacrificing two of the village's three remaining slaves (due to Orm and Rufus forging a will freeing themselves), leaving Kark as their last slave and forcing him to bury his friends alive. However, their motive is less to honor the Lawsayer and more petty revenge on the slaves for shunning them when they were enslaved. | |

In The Elder Scrolls backstory, Mordrin Hanin was a revered figure in 1st Era Morrowind. After he was murdered by traitors, representatives from all over Morrowind gathered in northern Vvardenfell for nine days of mourning, during which many slaves and traitors are sacrificed. On the final day, a lethal concoction was passed to every guest and killed most of them, providing Hanin with companions in the afterlife. His body and treasures were sealed in a Daedric tomb, guarded by the ghosts of the traitors who murdered him, of which the location was lost. Come the 3rd Era, during the events of Morrowind, the tomb, its treasure trove of artifacts, and its ghostly guardians can be rediscovered. | |

Futurama: In "A Pharaoh To Remember", the Planet Express crew is enslaved by the natives of an Ancient Egypt-cultured planet and forced to work on the current Pharaoh's tomb. When he passes away, his disciples throw a bunch of cats that they consider holy "for some reason" and the Elton John-esque singer who is still in the middle of singing his praises into the tomb. Bender then cons everyone into accepting him as Pharaoh, and everyone gets to work on building a massive Star Scraper of a monument to celebrate his reign. When Bender is unsatisfied with the absolute perfection of the build, he demands that it be torn down and built again. At this point, the locals decide to forcefully retire Bender from his position of Pharaoh and throw him into his tomb. On the way down, he asks about his afterlife servants, resulting in Fry and Leela being thrown down after him. | |

Oglaf: Hereafter has an emperor's tomb containing a golden barge (to carry him across the river), clay warriors (to fight off ghost crocodiles), and rubies (to bribe the guards of heaven). Those buried without these precautions are apparently eaten by the ghost crocodiles, which explains why the High Priest dumps the emperor's corpse outside the mausoleum, wraps himself in the burial shroud, and stabs himself, grinning all the while. One possible origin for Sithrak is a king using the clay warriors he was buried to besiege heaven and defeat God (here depicted as a humanoid without a face), set his head on fire, and ram spikes where his eyes should be before kicking him down, resulting in the flaming-skull-headed nailed-eye-sockets Sithrak. |

Hellblazer: Lord Burnham makes a deal with the blood mage Mako to create a palatial soul cage so he can spend eternity in an Artificial Afterlife torturing and raping sex slaves (including children), who suffer every moment they aren't pleasuring him. Constantine instead traps Mako in the cage, frees the slaves' souls, and waits for Burnham to start his lethal injection before telling him the cage now contains only a very pissed-off Mako. The cage is then hidden in a nuclear facility expected to last forever. | |

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: During the Viking Funeral of King Bran of the Skellige Isles, one of the king's unnamed concubines offers herself to join the king's corpse on his funerary longship as it burns, so she can be with her king in death. The king's widow is treated with considerable contempt by some of the late king's conservative friends for not doing this herself, as is Skellige tradition, but she is unashamed of refusing to throw her life away for a pointless gesture. It later turns out that she is the villain of the arc, committing mass murder so she can replace Skellige's traditional elected monarchy with a hereditary one starting with her son, but most characters treat this as a completely separate issue. | |

Thistil Mistil Kistil: Hedda was a thrall in a Norse household who barely escaped death when the dying master chose her to accompany him to the afterlife. She's horrified not just because she wants to live, but because she's Christian (ironically, the people who rescue her include the actual Loki). | |
