1. Yue
The Water Tribe tradition is to end a funeral with a telling of stories, so that the dead may pass on without regrets, knowing that on earth, their loved ones are celebrating their life.
Her mother takes the stage first, recounting Yue's childhood in soft but firm tones. Sokka listens hungrily, drinking in every detail; it's a poor substitute, but beggars can't be choosers.

2. Suki
It is dangerous to come back, especially when they have so little time left, but Sokka insists, and no one can bring themselves to argue.
They lower her slowly into the ground. He takes a good look at her, not missing the large burn on her cheek or the ceremonial robe she wears. Most warriors are buried in their armor, but she had none.
Suddenly, he feels a hand clamp down on his arm. The last of the Kyoshi warriors faces him. There is a long silence.
"She loved you," the girl says at last. "She loved you."

3. Ty Lee
It's supposed to be a family affair, private, closed to outsiders. Sokka shows up anyway.
"She saved me," he snaps to anyone who tries to protest, and spends the majority of the actual services pacing around the courtyard. He pours rice wine over her grave, then pauses and leaves, only to return some time later with a bottle of mango juice.
She is laughing at him, he knows. He doesn't care; she deserves to.

4. Toph
Thousands of people turn out to see Lady Bei Fong, the war hero, one last time. They part reverently as Sokka hobbles up to her grave (assisted by his sister--the one time she ever does this), and slowly, haltingly, turns over the earth.
The leaves are beginning to turn yellow. Sokka closes his eyes, hands trembling on the shovel. "Are you happy, Toph?" he asks.
She, at least, has lived a long life.
