The Bajoran death chant was a traditional funeral ritual practiced among some conservative Bajorans and was over two hours long. Ro Laren was one Bajoran who was disdainful of the chant. (TNG: "The Next Phase" ) Some speculate that the Bajoran rituals seen in DS9: "Battle Lines" and "Shakaar" may be Bajoran death chants. The ritual performed by Kira Nerys in "Battle Lines" was described as Bajoran death chant in the script of the episode. [1]
