The Dominion as with any miltaristic nation puts importance in the prooper burial of fallen soldiers. Most of the dead are either shipped home or buried where they fell (For example all the soldiers who fought and died in the invasion of Nova terra are burried in one large graveyard right out side the palace complex where most of them did indeed die defending the Autoarch.)

Each grave is marked like this:

Lucus Verus

Captain 3rd infantry regiment

Eagles of Victory

Died defending the Dominion 3067

On the top of every tombstone is a eagle clutching a globe and below that the 'Star of the Dominion'

At every funeral his comrades wear black uniforms with white and red trim. They are allowed and expected to wear all of their medals and military badges. After the funeral they are expected to wear these black uniforms for 5 more days as a period of mourning.

If the leader of a regiment or god forbid a general the mourning period is extended to 20 and 40 days respectively.

Each of the dead soldiers comrades are given time to say their own personal good byes before the casket is lowered. When it is placed in the ground each soldier sings a small hymn:

'Oh the soldiers honor!'

'The honor that takes away children and breaks apart family!'

'Here lies yet another victim of it's cruel fate!'

'Let their sacrifice not be in vain, let it be an inspiration to the Dominion!'
