Dear Skyrim,
As wonderfully profitable this venture has been for this professional Tomb-Raider, I would like to ask you to reconsider your traditions of burial. In these dark days, where dragons rule the skies and the sons and daughters of Skyrim foolishly spill their own blood, we must consider what is best for us all, and for our future.
In the light of this dark, cruel age, I'd like to ask you to henceforth refrain entirely from the practice of mummification. The dead of Skyrim simply no longer stay dead for very long. In the light of this, preserving the bodies of the dead and stashing them away, without any supervision beyond wheesy old men who reak of formaldehyde, in deep, underground complexes is a luxury we can no longer afford.
Instead, I propose that you immediatly switch entirely to cremation. Even if the dead might rise again despite that action, small piles of ash shuffling around in their urns will be far less of a threat to the living. Furthermore, you can use all the suddenly vacated barrow-space to store mead, or perhaps repurpose them as housing for the unfortunate.
Even if I have made a good living on these poorly supervised barrows, I can still see a problem where there is one. Cremate your dead, and you won't have to count on people like me venturing inside to do it for you.
Sincerely yours, Rajh'khan, a well-meaning mage.
Post Scriptum: You should also create a specialized spider-slaying pestcontrol force with all due haste! It's only a matter of time until they grow malevolent and plentyful enough to come swarming over your walls and devour us all alive.
