Reason for suggestion:

Death of PC's is a roleplay opportunity, both for the Adventuring community and racially. On occasions a corpse has been returned to Cordor and those bodies have been placed in temples / graveyards but are often visible rather than being interred to a container and remain in view.

Thieves, Assassins and other ne'er do wells often have a want to dispose of bodies, and should be allowed to do so in a way that creates / extends roleplay possibilities.

Priestly ceremonies, varying between religions and communities, revolving around death rites can help to bind a community together through their roleplayed sorrow.

Funerary Forge:

A variant of the forge, which instead of allowing crafting, destroys bodies placed within reducing them to bone ash (spell component variant).

Funerary Urn:

A variant of the stone urn, with a lockable lid (mechanical / holy with assignable DC) used to store bone ash of the deceased.

Coffin:

A craftable coffin, with inventory space.

Headstone:

Changed to include inventory access to represent an adjacent burial / shall grave.

Gibbet Cage / Gallows:

Changed to include inventory access to represent a contained corpse.

City Well:

Changed to include inventory access for criminal disposal of a corpse. Would also allow opportunity to explore empty water containers (buckets, canteens, bottles) being filled from water sources and carried away.
