Funeral Rites

Was Colleen's ritual funeral (the white clothing, the procession, the pyre being sent off to sea) in "The Cost of Living" based on some sort of ancient culture that was on the island long before any of the westerners arrived? Would this same culture be the one responsible for the four-toed statue?

I'm gonna go ahead and propose that it was based on the original practices of the "Shangri-La" residents.

And I'm also gonna go ahead and say that Juliet's got the Subterranean Homesick Blues.

And finally, I'm also gonna say that the title of this episode was inspired by a Neil Gaiman graphic novel.
