When characters die and a formal funeral, or returning the body home, is not possible, their companions will often bury them and erect some kind of marker as a form of Due to the Dead. And, if the character wore some kind of trademark headgear, their friends may hang the hat atop the marker. For warriors, this is usually combined with Weapon Tombstone: placing the warrior's helmet atop the weapon. However, it can be done for characters who are not warriors or in situations were the others do not wish to leave the warrior's weapon behind. As a Death Trope, there may be unmarked spoilers ahead. Beware. |

The end of TOME includes a small shot of Kirbopher's gravestone, marked with his sword and hat, despite Christopher being alive by the end of the story. Perhaps it's meant to say that the persona itself is dead, either due to Kajet's attacks corrupting the game model, or because his secret identity had been revealed. | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The very last episode "Victory and Death" ends with the Venator-class star destroyer crash-landing on the surface of a moon. Ahsoka and Captain Rex are the only ones to escape in time, but none of the other Clone Troopers survive. To honour the dead clones, they place their helmets before they leave. When Darth Vader arrives several years later, the helmets are almost entirely covered in snow. | |

In one Wolverine story, a trio of generic bad guys hunt him down with dogs. First he runs from them. Then, when an Innocent Bystander is killed in the crossfire, he slaughters them. He then takes a while to dig graves before he moves on... and is shown placing the two dogs' collars and the bystander's hat on the three graves, and leaving the dead men for the scavengers. note This particular story wasn't written by a Marvel writer, but by a fan who entered it in "Write an Issue of Wolverine" contest the company held. | |

In the Sgt. Rock comics, the graves of fallen members of Easy Company were usually marked with their rifle and helmet. This was featured the cover of the Between Hell and a Hard Place GN, and in the story itself Wildman instructs some new privates to do this for a fallen comrade. | |

When Milton Caniff, creator of Steve Canyon, died, the last Steve Canyon strip to run was a tribute including a panel by Bill Mauldin. This showed Mauldin's World War II soldier Willie sticking a rifle-sized pen into the ground while Steve, in flight suit, set a pilot's helmet atop the pen. (The rest of the tribute was the signatures of twenty or thirty other cartoonists.) | |

Demonstrated in the "Odie-sey" episode of Class of the Titans. The nymph Calypso helps the heroes and her new beloved Odie escape her island with a boat in her possession, since she is forbidden from leaving the island. When asked how she got a boat, she reveals she Really Gets Around and got the boat from one of her now-deceased ex-boyfriends, consisting of various men who wash up on her island every hundred years or so that she takes as lovers. Cue a graveyard full of time-relevant helmets showing the burial places. | |

Mulan: When the general—who also happens to be Shang's father—is killed by Shan Yu and his army, Chien-po, who found the body, brings back the general's helmet. Having no time for a burial, Shang erects a memorial by driving his sword into the ground and placing his father's helmet on it. Mulan also places an abandoned dollnote which the Huns had used to learn the imperial army's location she found in the village's ruins next to the sword. | |

Garth Ennis' The Boys has a variation on this in a Vietnam War flashback. After wiping out American troops armed with a crappy new rifle supplied by Vought-American, the VC leave the dead GI's weapons stuck in the ground with their helmets on top. However, the helmets aren't empty.... | |

Both the original and the 1995 remake of Sahara ends with shots of the graves of the fallen Allied soldiers, with variety of their head gear being put on the service rifles fixed as headstones. The difference is in tone of the scene: the original is upbeat, "we made it through sacrifice to victory" (being a war-time propaganda movie, after all), while the remake is a somber scene of War Is Hell. | |

The cover of 52 #1 shows Batman's cowl perched atop Wonder Woman's sword thrust through Superman's cape: signifying their symbolic deaths. This bookended by the cover of #52 which depicts The Question's iconic fedora perched on top of a gravestone (with Elongated Man's orange costume wrapped round the stone): representing their actal deaths. | |

In Ghost of Tsushima, the basket-like Tengai hat can be found during Act 3, in the northwestern part of the lake by Jogaku Temple. This lake is positioned just a bit south of the temple, an important settlement in Ghost of Tsushima's third map - Kamiagata. Once you're in this corner of the lake, go towards the forest, pass over a small grass patch, and you'll spot two graves. There is a stick next to the western one. You'll find the hat on top of this stick. | |
