** Kawamatsu resorted to RobbingTheDead in order to supply the Kozuki sympathizers with weapons, an act that he admitted to find deplorable and shameful. However, given that said weapons were to be used in order to dethrone [[TheCaligula Kurozumi Orochi]] and remove [[TheDreaded Kaido]] from Wano Country, Kawamatsu reasoned that it was too early for the swords of the dead to rest. Plus, since he would be keeping them in a secret storehouse while the swords were restored and maintained until the day of the Onigashima Raid, this way they could be kept safe from ''actual'' grave robbers. He was aided in this by Onimaru, the fox companion of Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who at first objected to Kawamatsu's grave-robbing by trying to bite his arm off, before changing his mind and helping him dig up the swords.

** After Ainz repels the knights attacking them, Carne Village takes the time to bury and mourn their dead. While [[{{Necromancer}} Ainz]] can easily resurrect the dead villagers, he elects not to in order to draw less attention to himself, though it's clear he's conflicted by the decision.
** Before his duel with Ainz, [[spoiler:Gazef Stronoff]] requests that he not be resurrected should he die. Ainz grants his request by using a high level [[OneHitKill insta-kill spell]], meaning he can't be resurrected since the resurrection methods available to human civilization are, for the most part, of a lower level.

* The ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' manga has Wyald establishing his monster credentials in a big way by not only [[spoiler:raping and murdering a woman who helped the Hawks as well as the girls in her care]], but also [[spoiler:[[DeadGuyOnDisplay carrying their naked, dismembered bodies into battle with the Hawks]]]].
* In the ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' manga, when Aion kills Pandaemonium, he cuts off her head and then mercilessly hacks up her body. [[spoiler:However, considering that Pandaemonium is the body of his human mother, Lilith, grafted onto the body of the demon's HiveQueen, Aion views it as "freeing" her, and probably also as revenge for the desecration the demons subjected his mother's body to.]] Also, throughout the series several demons are shown as being cruel, disgusting or evil because of their treatment of the bodies of their human victims.
* Zig-zagged in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Dio desecrates Jonathan's remains in the worst way possible when he takes over his body for his own use. Supplementary materials reveal that Dio actually feels conflicted over doing this to one of the only people he ever respected, but he also believes that Jonathan's body is the only worthy vessel for his rebirth.
* ''Franchise/LupinIII'' shows both ends of this trope. On the evil end:
** Lupin himself is declared dead on occasion. Pops will assault the corpse to prove it isn't really Lupin. The rest of the gang mourns him in their respective ways. The service is very small, no family in attendance.

Examples of DueToTheDead in AnimeAndManga
[[folder:Good]]
* ''Manga/SevenSeeds'': Whenever possible, the characters will try to perform a burial or something similar to anyone that has died. In cases like [[TakingTheBullet Izayoi]] or the three Team Winter members that didn't survive the cryo-stasis, it's done for emotional reasons and as a sign of respect and grief. But others cases, like covering up Mayu's body, are stated to be done to prevent the bodies from being damaged by wildlife.
* Cruelly subverted in the anime adaptation of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''; after the disastrous 57th expedition of the Survey Corps, they ''attempt'' to recover the bodies to be brought back to their families and proper burial within the walls, but when a few troops go against orders and try to get a body that was deemed unrecoverable due to proximity to Titans, and end up drawing them back to the convoy, Levi orders all of the bodies ([[spoiler: including those of his entirely wiped out squad]]) to be dumped so the cart carrying them can escape. And none of the soldiers, including Levi, are happy with it.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** One of the duties of the Shinigami sent to the world of the living is to perform Konso (soul burial) on the souls of the [[UnfinishedBusiness lingering dead]], allowing them to pass on to Soul Society. This serves a number of purposes: chiefly, it saves them from being preyed upon by [[TheHeartless Hollows]], who [[HorrorHunger eat the souls of the dead in order to satiate their hunger]], and it stops them from becoming Hollows themselves. It also serves another purpose in that [[BalancingDeathsBooks it helps preserve the balance between the realms of the living and the dead]], which would spill unto one another if one were to house too many souls.
** Their other main duty is to outright kill Hollows. A Shinigami's [[EmpathicWeapon Zanpakuto]] has the power to purify the soul of a Hollow of the sins they committed in death, which then allows them to move on to Soul Society and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. Hollows that committed grave sins in life, however, are another story: those get DraggedOffToHell.
** Every year, on the anniversary of Masaki's death, Ichigo and his family go to [[GraveMarkingScene visit her grave.]] Notably, it is the one day in the entire year where [[BumblingDad Isshin]] smokes, since the one time Masaki complimented his looks was when he smoked during the time they started dating.
** When it becomes apparent that Ikkaku will die fighting Edorad, Yumichika calls Soul Society and requests, among other things, that they make preparations for his military funeral. Fortunately, it doesn't come to that.
** After Chojiro Sasakibe dies fighting the Vandenreich, he is given a military funeral with the entirety of the Gotei 13 in attendance. Later on, Yamamoto gives his Lieutenant a "proper send-off" by ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill obliterating]]'' the man responsible for his death.
--->'''[[AFatherToHisMen Yamamoto]]:''' I'm finally able to give you a proper send-off. Chojiro... Farewell.
* The manga version of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' shows a crowd of mourners at [[spoiler: Rosette Christopher]]'s grave, and many years later a minor character states that flowers are placed on the grave every year, even though the grave's location wasn't revealed to the public. [[spoiler: It's implied that Chrono is the one leaving flowers on her grave every year, showing that he still cares for her several decades after her death.]]
** The anime also shows [[spoiler:Satella]]'s body laid out for viewing in a church, possibly after her funeral.
** Both versions have Rosette and Joshua find Chrono sleeping in a tomb, that was sealed with holy magic and intricately carved. Flashbacks later reveal that it's the grave of [[spoiler:Mary Magdalene]], and show her in her coffin laying on a bed of flowers before her tomb is sealed.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' has [[spoiler: cyborg [[EnsembleDarkhorse Jeremiah Gottwald]]]] actively deciding to respect a dead commander of [[spoiler: the Geass order]] because of the loyalty the man showed, which is the one trait [[spoiler: Jeremiah]] values above all others.
** Despite having professed hating him not too long before, Lelouch makes a point of burying [[spoiler: Rolo]] with his ''own hands'' after his HeroicSacrifice [[spoiler: marking his grave with the pendant he gave him that was originally meant for Nunnally; proving that he grew to genuinely care for his false brother.]]
* Played straight with [[spoiler:L's funeral]] in the ''Manga/DeathNote'' anime- at least, until Light is left alone, at which point one of the most disturbing scenes in the series begins.
* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', the series has at least two key events for these rites.
** After [[spoiler: Kyojuro]] dies, several scattered scenes of characters reacting to his death is shown, his lord Kagaya in particular is offering his prayers to the already fallen slayers before [[spoiler: Kyojuro]], commending on [[spoiler: Kyojuro's]] bravery until the end, earnestly expecting to join him and everyone else in the afterlife when their mission to eradicate demonkind is finally done.
** [[spoiler: In the end, after Muzan is dead, the Corps are disbanded, Tanjiro and Nezuko go back home, taking Zentisu and Inosuke with them; Zenitsu carries the ashes of his beloved master Jigoro with him, Tanjiro and Nezuko allow him to bury the ashes in the same place the Kamado family was buried, where they all send their prayers and move on]].
* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': When Vegeta dies tearfully begging Goku to avenge their race on Namek, Goku, out of [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathy]], takes the time to give Vegeta a proper burial before fighting Frieza.
* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'':
** After [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled throwing himself to his death before the effects of a Hokuto Shinken attack kills him]], Shin's body is retrieved by Kenshiro, who gives him a proper burial out of respect for the man who loved Yuria as much as he did.
** After Rei dies in a hut as a result of Raoh's attack, Kenshiro puts the hut to flame as a funeral pyre.
* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', Tohru and her friends visit her mother's grave, and find that her grandfather had also come to pay his respects.
* In ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'', a flashback shows that one of the most important talks between Roy and Riza took place at the end of the Ishvalan war... when she was done giving an Ishbalan murdered child, whose body she found by a nearby road, something similar to a dignified burial.
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic''
** The fact that Sōsuke is respectful to the dead becomes a ''huge'' plot point in ''The Second Raid''. It's eventually revealed that the reason for Gauron's [[StalkerWithACrush obsession]] and LoveAtFirstSight towards Sōsuke stems from having seen the dignified way [[TheStoic Sôsuke]] serenely dragged and threw the corpses of all his fallen enemies into a makeshift burial. There was no compassion or great emotion found in Sōsuke's eyes while he was doing that, and his reason for doing it was presumably because of his own internal set of morals.
** As for Gauron himself, he reveals that when he was around the same age as Sōsuke, he was ordered to arrange the bodies of the victims of the Khmer Rouge his Pol Pot colleagues killed. The similarities in that aspect end there, however. Although he was forced to give proper burials to the people his superiors killed, he is shown to be [[AxCrazy sick and perverse]], and is later shown to have wanted Kaname's body to be raped and brutally violated by the assassin he sent after her (along with photos to be taken of it). Of course, his reason for that might be based more on his want for revenge against the girl that is [[DefrostingIceQueen melting the heart]] of his "beautiful" Assassin Saint.
* ''Manga/FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden'':
** Right before Takiko is spirited away to the world of the book, her mother Yoshie had just passed away and the preparations for her Buddhist funeral were about to begin. [[spoiler: Some time later, she looks into Hikitsu's MagicEye and is temporarily sent back to Japan, but she ends up returning to the book right before the funeral properly takes place.]]
** In the book itself, [[spoiler: Soruen]] is given a very heartfelt funeral after he dies [[spoiler: in an HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ''Franchise/LupinIII'':
** When Zenigata is declared dead, he is always treated to full police honors, as if he made a HeroicSacrifice ForGreatJustice. Lupin and his gang attend at a respectful distance. (If they're seen, the police would have to arrest them.)
** Lupin himself is declared dead on occasion. Pops will assault the corpse to prove it isn't really Lupin. (If he ''can't'' prove it, he's usually sad for a while afterwards.) The rest of the gang mourns him in their respective ways. The service is very small, no family in attendance.
* During the final episode of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', Signum and Genya are seen taking flowers to what is implied to be Zest's grave. When they arrive, they find Auris nearby, who had already left some flowers of her own.
* In ''Anime/MyOtome'', there is a shrine to fallen Otome beneath Garderobe. Since an Otome's body dissolves after death, there are no earthly remains but what appears to be a copy of their GEM is inserted into a crystal pillar to serve as their monument. Miss Maria specifically kneels and apologizes to the deceased when a gaggle of aspiring Otome trespass into the shrine.
* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'': Two instances of this in the episode where Nadia and Jean met Marie:
** When their plane is shot, Gladys and her two henchmen cross themselves and take a moment of silence for the memory of the chiildren they were tracking, thinking they were dead.
** After sucessfully fleeing the assaulters, Jean take a shovel and go bury Marie's parents and dog, even though he was still tracked. After this, the trio go to these graves.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** More than one funeral takes place in the story, including those of [[spoiler: the Third Hokage (who died fighting Orochimaru)]] and [[spoiler: his son Asuma (died fighting Hidan)]]
** One of Kakashi's "quirks" is him always being late because he likes spending time checking on the symbolic grave of his best friend Obito. [[spoiler: It's a huge plot point: Obito turns out to be NotQuiteDead, and he learns about Naruto's upcoming birth when he hears Kakashi talking to his grave about it.]]
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** The Marineford War ends in the (most notable) deaths of [[spoiler: Whitebeard and Ace]]. When [[spoiler: Shanks]] steps in to put a stop to it, he demands to take the bodies to give them a proper burial. While Vice Admiral Doberman objected (he wanted to put their heads for viewing as a symbol of the Marines' victory) Fleet Admiral Sengoku outranked him. Whether this was out of respect or because he didn't want hostilities to flare up again, Sengoku conceded to the demand without complaint.
** This is used as an EstablishingCharacterMoment for Oden during a flashback when he uses a dead friend's funeral pyre to ''cook himself lunch''. It was his way of symbolically sharing one last meal with him.
* An early episode of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' has and his gang as well as Team Rocket escape from the capsized St. Anne. Ash has Pidgeotto look for dry land, and it finds Team Rocket unconscious and brings them to Ash and company's platform. They presume Team Rocket dead and say a quick prayer and attempt to bury them at sea, but Team Rocket comes to just in time to stop them. [[BlackComedy Pikachu snaps his fingers in disappointment]].
--> '''Ash, Misty, and Brock''': Ahh! Zombies!
* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Played with.
** Colbert gives a whole song and dance to Akira and Sheryl about retrieving the dead traitor hunter Guyver's body to give it to the [[AdventureGuild Hunter's Office]] for the greater good, convincing them to take the body from the wasteland. But it turns out that Colbert was assigned to monitor Guyver and make sure he didn't flee from paying his debts, and hands the body to the debt agency to verify his death wasn't faked.
** A PunchClockVillain NobleDemon hunter Akira fights named Erde talks about how TheDeadHaveNames, and asks Akira for his name in order to properly honor him after killing him. Erde apologizes to his subordinates that died fighting Akira in his LastWords.
* At the conclusion of ''Manga/SaintSeiya'''s Galaxian Wars arc, [[ThePhoenix Phoenix Ikki]] performs a HeroicSacrifice to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeem his evil deeds]] and save the Bronze Saints [[TakingYouWithMe from an even bigger threat]]. Although [[NeverFoundTheBody he was buried beneath a mountain]], the four remaining Bronzes erect a grave in his honor at that site.
* In ''Manga/SnowWhiteAndSevenDwarfs'', whereas the government simply dumps bodies in places where they're out of sight, Takeru tries to bury what bodies he can, from those of civilians to those of their enemies. Respect for the dead, overall, seems to be a theme in the series—Shirayuki believes that you should NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead, compared to [[BigBad Kuroyuki]] who's happy to disrespect the fallen.
* In the manga adaptation of ''LightNovel/SwordOratoria'', Aiz Wallenstein throws herself into battle against a huge army of monsters who've killed at least two other adventurers, whose eyes are open even in death. A few panels later, the corpses' eyes have been closed, making them seem much more at peace.
* Used as an EstablishingCharacterMoment in ''Manga/TokyoGhoul''. When Kaneki is sent to help Yomo harvest bodies for the cafe, he's understandably intimidated by the silent Ghoul. But when they arrive on site and discover the body of a recent suicide, Yomo pauses to pray over the victim prior to getting to work. Afterwards, it becomes clear that Yomo is actually an incredibly kind person.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Played with.
** Colbert gives a whole song and dance to Akira and Sheryl about retrieving the dead traitor hunter Guyver's body to give it to the [[AdventureGuild Hunter's Office]] for the greater good, convincing them to take the body from the wasteland. But it turns out that Colbert was assigned to monitor Guyver and make sure he didn't flee from paying his debts, and hands the body to the debt agency to verify his death wasn't faked.
** A PunchClockVillain NobleDemon hunter Akira fights named Erde talks about how TheDeadHaveNames, and asks Akira for his name in order to properly honor him after killing him. Erde apologizes to his subordinates that died fighting Akira in his LastWords.
* At the conclusion of ''Manga/SaintSeiya'''s Galaxian Wars arc, [[ThePhoenix Phoenix Ikki]] performs a HeroicSacrifice to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeem his evil deeds]] and save the Bronze Saints [[TakingYouWithMe from an even bigger threat]]. Although [[NeverFoundTheBody he was buried beneath a mountain]], the four remaining Bronzes erect a grave in his honor at that site.
* In ''Manga/SnowWhiteAndSevenDwarfs'', whereas the government simply dumps bodies in places where they're out of sight, Takeru tries to bury what bodies he can, from those of civilians to those of their enemies.

* In the manga adaptation of ''LightNovel/SwordOratoria'', Aiz Wallenstein throws herself into battle against a huge army of monsters who've killed at least two other adventurers, whose eyes are open even in death. A few panels later, the corpses' eyes have been closed, making them seem much more at peace.
* Used as an EstablishingCharacterMoment in ''Manga/TokyoGhoul''. When Kaneki is sent to help Yomo harvest bodies for the cafe, he's understandably intimidated by the silent Ghoul. But when they arrive on site and discover the body of a recent suicide, Yomo pauses to pray over the victim prior to getting to work. Afterwards, it becomes clear that Yomo is actually an incredibly kind person.
