About the Use of Lekythoi

I'd say claiming "[lekyhtoi were] used for anointing dead bodies of unmarried women" requires a citation. The current wording of the article gives an impression of lekythoi being used solely or almost solely with burials of unmarried women, which, I believe, is not exactly true. Just taking a look at the paintings should make that clear (what kind of an unmarried woman gets put into her grave with a scene depicting dead Sarpedon, for example). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjlain (talk • contribs) 14:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

The use of the lekythosMmay123

What were the other uses for the lekythos? The article says they were primarily used for funerals, did they have any other uses or were they solely for funerary practices?
