The First Men believed that the person who condemned another to die should be the one who wields the sword.{{Ref|AGOT|43}} [[House Stark]] practices this belief still.{{Ref|AGOT|1}}

The First Men interred their dead in [[w:tumulus|barrows]], which can be found everywhere in the [[north]], e.g., the [[Great Barrow]] of [[Barrowton]], where the [[First King]] of the First Men is said to have been buried.{{ref|ADWD|32}} The [[barrowlands]] contains wide plains of flatness which are relieved by long, low hummocks, the barrows of the First Men.{{Ref|AGOT|12}}

The Starks bury their deceased family members in the [[crypts of Winterfell]],{{ref|AGOT|3}}{{ref|AGOT|66}} located beneath [[Winterfell|their castle]]. The [[House Bolton|Boltons]] similarly bury their deceased beneath the [[Dreadfort]].{{ref|ADWD|32}} The [[House Blackwood|Blackwoods]], originally from the north, have buried their dead at [[Cairns]] and beneath the [[weirwood]] in the [[godswood of Raventree Hall]].{{ref|ADWD|48}}

The [[House Tully|Tullys]] of [[Riverrun]], a house of First Men origin who now follow the [[Faith of the Seven]], place their dead in a funereal boat on the [[Red Fork]] and have it sink into the river after being set ablaze with fire arrows.{{ref|ASOS|35}}
