Sometimes no one wants to bury the dead. I know where to bury them. I have level two spirituality, but it took over a hour of real time to convince my lazy villagers to bury their dead. I had to drag them to the burial site over and over again for them to figure it out. I think I have lead in my well water because I have got the stupidest villagers around. By the time they become adept or masters at anything they are on the edge of the grave. Sigh!
