Burial of the Dead is the burial of people who had died. Ishmael “died, and was buried in the place which was called Nahom” (1 Nephi 16:34). A speaker said, “with mine own hands, did help to bury their dead,” after 279 brethren were slain (Mosiah 9:19).
After a war, Nephites who were not slain buried those who had been slain and returned “to their lands, and to their houses, and their wives, and their children” (Alma 3:1). Others cast their dead into the waters of Sidon, where they “are buried in the depths of the sea” (Alma 44:22). Moroni compelled Lamanite prisoners to bury their dead and slain Nephites while guards watched them labor (Alma 53:1).
After caring for wounded men, a group buried its dead and “also the dead of the Lamanites, who were many” (Alma 57:28). People assembled “to mourn and to fast, at the burial of the great chief judge who had been slain” (Helaman 9:10-11).
