"I'm honored to be a Daughter of Ferrix, and honored to be worthy of the stone. Strange, I… feel as if I can see it. I was six, I think, first time I touched a funerary stone."
―Maarva Andor, in a holorecorded speech[1]

A funerary stone was a symbolic artifact of great importance in the culture of Ferrix. It was made of the ashes of an upstanding deceased citizen, such as members of the Daughters of Ferrix, which were then mixed with mortar and local dust to form a solid brick.[2] The stone was then inscribed with the deceased's name in Bazeese script[3] as well as the times of birth and death in the C.R.C. dating system, and it was placed in a wall somewhere in the city after the funeral. Notable individuals who were "bricked," as locals called it, were spouses Clem and Maarva Carassi Andor.[1] In 5 BBY,[4] Maarva Andor's funerary stone was used as an impromptu weapon by the Grappler Brasso in a riot that broke out following her funeral.[1]
