Hi there,
In the background information is said:
"The idea of Klingons keeping vigil over the bodies of the dead seems at odds with prior portrayals, wherein a corpse was considered a worthless shell immediately upon death (TNG: "Heart of Glory")."
It may seem odd but I don't see a conflict between both behaviors.
According to the tradition of ak'voh, whenever a warrior dies in battle, others stay with the body to keep away predators, allowing the spirit to leave the body and go to Sto'Vo'Kor. (DS9: "The Ship") [see article sto-vo-kor]
So it seems there may be different behaviors for each cause. On the one hand for a klingon warrior and on the other for a warrior, who was a friend.
I just stumbled upon that watching (DS9: "The Ship"). Because I'm new to memory-alpha, I didn't want to change the article but I'd like heare some thoughts about that.
