The next part of the campaign I'm running will feature a semi-lengthy stay in Manifest, and I'd like to be as prepared as possible in case one of the PCs die there.

I know the Eidolon and Eidoloncer are considered weak and uninteresting options even in 3.5, and I'd like to give them an update and some extra oomph to make them seem more appealing. If one of the characters dies, I'd like the Eidolon and Eidoloncer to seem worth it, to maybe encourage the players to stick with it for a couple of levels instead of instantly going for Raise Dead or some other form of resurrection.

How would you do it? I have no idea where to even start, to be honest.

Also, what options are available across 3.PF for preserving dead bodies, ideally indefinitely?
