Shiki Novel Translations 3.0 and notes

As we get to the deaths, it would seem prudent to prep readers for the upcoming onslaught of Japanese funeral rituals. I've decided to take a cue from Hirosawa's spaced out explanations and will put general notes not necessarily relevant early on into chapter sections like this so that opening readers needn't just take in a huge info-dump or feel intimidated by how many cultural details the novel may require. Thoughts, readers?
