Bringing the dead out to the Sea of Souls with the prized vessel they used in life...that sounds pretty rad. Dunno about all the mechanical implications, but it seems like the most interesting option

Part of me really, really wants to return the bodies to shore on the very, very small chance that they rise up again.
... Which they won't, unfortunately.

We'll keep the bodies. Might need them later.

What do they expect us to do with all these dead people, eat them?
... They don't expect us to eat them, right? I hope they realise that humans are terrible meat animals, much better to stick with fish.

Just now I saw this quest from the only person on this site who can write interesting civ quests. I wish you great failures with a drop of hope. After all, when everything is fine, it is not so interesting

Despite the fact, that I really like this burial rite, I agree it will be ultimately very wasteful for our community.
Much better one-considering the long game, and our civilization potentialy achiving modern level technology-would be cremation.
Because modern day cemeteries take space and resources we could otherwise use.

Eh, it should be relatively easy to morph this ritual into something more resource-efficient, like having the newly departed get
On the topic of being wasteful, it's not really anymore wasteful than any other type of burial. A pyre also takes wood, tombs or necropolis take space and so on and so on.
Resources for burials only become an issue when there's a lot of people dying at once (in which case we'll have bigger things to worry about) or we hit industrial revolution level population (and by that point we'll have enough power to make more resource efficient).
Worrying about any resource other than food at this point is kind of pointless.
