Inuyasha : If you were so worried about her remains, why didn't you scatter them in the river in the first place? We wouldn't be in this predicament if it weren't for you and your sentimentality.
Kaede : Inuyasha, have ye no regard for man's gravesites and tombstones? A grave is more than simply a place to bury a body or ashes. It is a place of refuge, of shelter for the hearts of those loved ones left behind.
Inuyasha : The loved ones left behind?
Kaede : My sister was born a priestess. She used her powers for the good of the villagers. She warded specters and demons away from the village and battled illness and famine countless times. Ever since her demise, Kikyo's spirit continues to encourage them to overcome their obstacles and have the strength to carry on. But people are weak, and hearts are easily swayed by the winds of danger and uncertainty. her grave was a place of reassurance, a haven, to encourage the villagers to brace themselves against the storms of life.
