ceremony

Now the city has been saved, the two brothers who became enemies are dead, and King Creon has ordered that Eteocles, the good brother, will be buried with full honours, while Polynices, the good-for-nothing traitor, will be left without tomb or ceremony to be the prey of the crows and the jackals. 🔊

You've heard the priests of Thebes doing the burial ceremony? You've seen those poor, tired church employees cutting short their gestures, gabbling the words, trying to get it over quickly enough so that they can fit in another stiff before they break for lunch? 🔊
