Abstract

This study aims to understand narratives about funeral processions in the rural area of Pinheiro, Maranhão, Brazil. It adopts oral history as the methodological approach, as it enables access to lived experiences and memories of death (Alberti, 2004). It seeks to answer the following question: in what ways do such narratives reveal experiences of living and dying? The study highlights the complexity of death rites as articulated with everyday life, such as the use of hammocks.
