Libitina
In Roman mythology, Libitina was the goddess of death, corpses and funerals. Her name was also a synonym for death. In some traditions, she is the same as Venus or Proserpine. Servius Tullius is said to have been the first to set up temples to her that housed all the equipment necessary for funerals, including gravediggers. Her temples also usually contained the registers of the dead.
