The [[Klingons|Klingon]] death ritual was rarely seen by [[Humans]] prior to [[2364]]. During the rite, a fallen warrior's eyes were opened, to allow their [[soul]] to escape the body, and the other warriors present would howl loudly, announcing that a warrior was en route to the afterlife. Though many Klingons viewed the body as an empty shell to simply be disposed of at that point,<ref name="TNG120"/> some sects had rituals that involved entombing the bodies of fallen warriors in [[sarcophagi]].<ref name="DSC01"/>
