I return my breath of life to the beneficial nature that graciously lent it to me, and my body to the elements of which it is made.

Oooh, I remembered the second part but had forgotten the first! Thank you!

I'm curious if he had a template/reference for that earlier scenario, do we know?

I don't. I assumed all those were attempts to keep it small and ceremony-less. At night so that no one sees it happening and no crowd gathers spontaneously. No one following, ditto. A lantern because it's night and there are no streetlamps. ;) And possibly as opposed to something fancier, like illuminating the gardens or whatever.

But maybe he had a template in mind!
