There are two ways the deal with bodies in quantity, mass graves or large funeral pyres. The latter seem more appropriate for Orlanthi while the Lunars will probably use whichever's quickest unless someone insists on their own rituals.

I would imagine they have rituals which prevent or obstruct enemy dead following their normal path in the afterlife. The Lunars certainly don't want more Orlanthi joining Orlanth in his stead. So there might well be attempts by both sides to ensure the dead are liberated from where their eneimies have sent them.
