History DueToTheDead / ComicBooks

* ''ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}'': In ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfCaptainMarvel'', not only did the whole super-hero community come to mourn Captain Mar-Vell, even the Skrulls, his [[ArchEnemy Arch Enemies]], sent dignitaries to pay their respects.

** Thor staged a VikingFuneral for Eilif the Lost, who had given his life fighting the dragon Fafnir, in issue #343. Thor and Baldar also drank a toast to Skurge the Executioner after [[Awesome/TheMightyThor he sacrificed himself at Gjallerbru]], fulfilling his last request that they "laugh Skurge's last laugh together."
** After Bill, a normal human fry cook from Oklahoma, sacrifices himself to save Baldar from being killed in an ambush, Baldar and the other gods give him a proper Viking funeral in honor of his heroism.

* ''ComicBook/StarWarsKanan'': After Stance is killed the Depa Billaba, Caleb, and the clone troopers bury him with his weapon and helm as his headstone and have a funeral for him (and the others who fell during the battle) before Depa submits to entering a bacta tank to help heal the wounds she received at Grievious's hands.

* In ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfCaptainMarvel'' graphic novel, not only did the whole super-hero community come to mourn Captain Mar-Vell, even the Skrulls, his [[ArchEnemy Arch Enemies]], sent dignitaries to pay their respects.
* ''Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy'' #5: ComicBook/{{Daken}} assaults an auction in Madripoor and slaughters everyone there [[spoiler: except Viper, Mystique, and a former lover]] in order to retrieve the remains of Wolverine being sold there so he can give his father a proper burial. Later, when attempting to recover Logan's remains during ''Wolverines'', Daken warns Sabretooth not to mock him over his insistence of treating them with respect. ComicBook/{{X 23}} also honors Logan after his death. First by dyeing her forelocks blue and gold, his most iconic colors, as a tribute. Later [[LegacyCharacter she takes up the Wolverine name herself]], with this as part of the reason.
* ''ComicBook/KravensLastHunt'' begins with Spider-Man visiting the wake for Joe Face, a snitch he had sometimes had pumped for information, leaving some money to help pay for the funeral. This starts him on reflecting his own mortality. Later Kraven, after shooting Spider-Man, has him buried in style, complete with a very fancy headstone. And he also had all his own funeral arrangements prepared at the end.
* ComicBook/TheMightyThor staged a VikingFuneral for Eilif the Lost, who had given his life fighting the dragon Fafnir, in issue #343. Thor and Baldar also drank a toast to Skurge the Executioner after [[Awesome/TheMightyThor he sacrificed himself at Gjallerbru]], fulfilling his last request that they "laugh Skurge's last laugh together."

* Played with in one ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} story, in which a trio of generic bad guys hunt him down [[TheyHaveTheScent with dogs]]. First he runs from them. Then, when an InnocentBystander 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 [[LastDisrespects leaving the dead men for the scavengers]]. [[note]] This particular story wasn't written by a Marvel writer, but by a fan [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent who entered it in "Write an Issue of Wolverine" contest]] the company held.[[/note]]

* ''ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells'': After one battle between the Allies and the Axis, ComicBook/WonderWoman stayed behind on the field while the rest of the Allies regrouped afterwards. When ComicBook/SteveTrevor asks her what she had been doing, she explained that she was burying all of the villager civilians that had been slaughtered by the Nazis before the battle. They deserved to go to the afterlife with more than just the touch of an enemy as their last contact on Earth.

* ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' #7: ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s public funeral in Chicago, where she was eulogized by long-time and close personal friend ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, was attended by literally thousands of people, many among whom were heroes and super-beings of greater stature or presence than herself (such as Batman, Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel); her actual final rites were conducted by her cousin ComicBook/{{Superman}} alone and in private outside his Fortress of Solitude, where he wrapped her in her cape and flew her off into space, heading towards New Krypton/Rokyn to leave her body with her natural parents, Zor-El and Alura (as seen in ''Superman Volume 1 #414).

* ''Franchise/TheFlash'': Subverted when the Reverse-Flash died. The Rogues stole his body from the morgue and took it to the city limits to set it on fire. It then turns out that rather than a respectful funeral, they actually went there to mock and desecrate the Reverse-Flash's body; they were all [[EvenEvilHasStandards absolutely disgusted by him]] and proceeded to throw things at his body and shout slurs at it while it burned.

* The Comicbook/LegionOfSuperHeroes and Comicbook/TeenTitans have a hall of statues commemorating their dead.

* The Franchise/MarvelUniverse has shown that even villains pay the dead the proper respect. One example has several villains mourning the death of Stilt-Man. Even a few heroes showed up (even Franchise/SpiderMan, who made fun of the guy while alive). There was also another example with ComicBook/TheHood, where he gives a eulogy for a fallen member of his gang, with the other members in attendance.

* The Destine family of ''Comicbook/ClanDestine'' have a private graveyard for the bodies of Adam Destine's parents and children. One issue starts with Adam and the twins visiting the grave of Florence, who was really Rory and Pandora's sister, but posed as their grandmother (it's complicated). Special mention goes to the family Black Sheep, Vincent, who, despite evil deeds of an unknown nature, was still laid to rest in the family cemetery in the proper way (complete with an extremely weird statue as part of the grave marker, courtesy of his younger sister Samantha).

* ''Franchise/TheFlash'': When Barry Allen killed Professor Zoom, the Rogues' Gallery stole the body, laid him out with his costume draped on the coffin... and furiously denounced Zoom for tarnishing their reputation by getting killed and ''blew up the coffin''.

* In ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'', Sue Dibny's funeral was heavily attended, and Captain Cold, who's known for his professionalism despite being a villain, sent flowers.

* Subverted in ''Franchise/TheFlash'' when the Reverse-Flash died. The Rogues stole his body from the morgue and took it to the city limits to set it on fire. It then turns out that rather than a respectful funeral, they actually went there to mock and desecrate the Reverse-Flash's body; they were all [[EvenEvilHasStandards absolutely disgusted by him]] and proceeded to throw things at his body and shout slurs at it while it burned.
* Heroes, like Franchise/GreenLantern and Franchise/TheFlash, tend to have well-attended funerals and monuments. And then they come BackFromTheDead...

* Franchise/WonderWoman:
