I shall try and get to Empires today. Morganna's addition has had me thinking for the last half a week! For continuance though, we're picking up Attila.
Old-fashioned "Call me old-fashioned," said the lady in the jade-green sweater, "but I think dead people ought to stay dead." "You're old-fashioned," said Attila, his teeth a brilliant white in the subdued lighting of the funeral parlour. "Still, this range of coffins comes with external locks, bolts and chains so that if the dead decide not to stay dead, at least they stay put. And for a small extra fee we can... forget... to check how dead the body is when we put it into the coffin."

Greg - I had to re-read your linked post to fully remember Attila. Glad I did.
And it made this little snippet all the more enjoyable. I would be terribly pleased to have him visit more regularly, I think :D
