: Apparently funerary customs were similar among Middle-earth's peoples (although that's drawing a LARGE inference from three burials spaced out over a great arc of time).

: I mean, warriors were buried with their weapons and women were buried with jewelry.

: Boromir's funeral comes to mind too.

: It's small touches like these which always increase my appreciation for Middle-earth. There are so many things Tolkien put into the stories which other authors might not have considered.

I didn´t knew about wemen, but as for warriors, especially died in battle, (my opinion) they were buried with their wapons and the ones of the beaten as a ceremony and a reminder of the honor and power of this brave fighter.
Something like a warning for enemies and a sacred place for allies.
