Why? Dead souls dissolve into the lifestream, gets back into the world as aether, becomes part of some other living being, and so on.
Just like the physical body after burial becomes food for insects and worms and provides nutrients for plants. It all gets recycled back into life.

Why is that so depressing? Sounds much better than the eternal damnation that some real-world religions claim that most people will get after death.
