Stone giants are long lived, with an advanced reaching ages of up to 800 years old, and some elders living as much as 1000 years. The proper age of an elder is at minimum 600 years old. Juveniles become adults at age 90 (for women) and 120 (for males).
Stone giant dead are rarely buried in the ground. Instead, prominent stone giants are mummified and perched on top of high mountains, their remains guarded over by stone giant shamans. The mummy is richly adorned with furs, jewels, armor, and other such trappings of life. Less prominent stone giants are put to the pyre, buried under stone cairns, where the size of the cairn is indicative of the respect shown to the giant. "He'll leave a mountain!" is something said of a giant much loved by his tribesmen
