You don't just bury dead relatives here. You also buried your dead pet uni (う) in that dirt. You thought having an uni as a pet would be a good idea. Too bad uni need water to survive.

Imagine crying as you bury your pet uni. Your tears can't save it now. (Though it is a bit ironic, since it needed salt water.)
