Make sure that there are several people repairing the temple as well as several attacking the shades, as shades can and will tear the temple down completely. Defending the temple from shades also increases your Sanctity.

Now, light the funeral pyre using a Tinderbox to set its spirit free. Pick up the Bronze key that appears on the stand.
