But if the nords really respected there ancestors, would they really want them to become mindless Draugr in death. I'd say burn the bodies, tear down the structures. The Nords expect them to turn into Draugr. The draugr maintain the temples while the families are away. I thought (even though there are contradictions to this) that the Draugr were supposed to be servants of the Dragons in death. The Draugr are ancient nords who were cursed with undeath for their treachery by the Dragons Now this I definately need a reference for.
