It seems notable that two of those three are also how many societies dispose of human bodies. As I understand it Islam is generally against cremation of humans, but at least from my outside perspective it seems like the usage of cremation by pre-Islamic societies in the region could still lead to it being seen as respectful even if it's no longer held as suitable for humans

That said it's also kind of the exact opposite of Zoroastrian funerary practice so I dunno

So I can just fling it in a creek?
