2 Chronicles 35-36, Psalm 90

Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah, and to this day all the male and female singers commemorate Josiah in the laments. These became a tradition in Israel and are written in the Laments. (2 Chronicles 35:25)

I wonder what might have happened if the people had amended their ways, as both Josiah and Jeremiah urged. They might have begun a tradition of living uprightly before Josiah died, instead of starting the tradition of singing laments for him afterward.
