Proper burial? How does giving your creature a coffin result in life gain? Sometimes the flavour just doesn't add up...unless a Proper Burial involves post-mortem cannibalism.

@Zulp Well duh, of course it does. What do they do to dead people where you live?
When the newly deceased are granted safe passage from this world to the next, the Spirits of White Magic are appeased and reward their followers with that most coveted of worldly possessions: a greater life total.
When I first read the title, I got my hopes up thinking this would be some kind of cool Wrath of God ability. Then I read the ability. It's a nifty ability, it's just not worth 4 mana. And the name doesn't fit.

@tcollins: Gaining life (in magic) doesn't always translate to having a meal (like what you're suggesting in your comment. Look at Gerrard's Wisdom. The life gain here translate to the peace of mind someone gets when witnessing a proper burial of someone you look up to. Flavorful card.
