This was one of the reasons they used onions for burial. They believed that it was a magical herb that would aid them in the afterlife in some way. They would place them in the tomb as well and sliced onions all over the body. It is also rumored that this was done to mask the odor of the corpse. Just as the Egyptians believed the onion to be a magical plant so did the Romans.
