The explanation of the plural - "sepulchres" - will be seen in I Kings 13:30 note.
The burning of spices in honor of a king at his funeral was customary (compare the marginal references).
12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he adid not seek the Lord, but the physicians.

14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had1 made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled awith spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made ba very great burning for him.
