Description:

The extreme gravity of the funeral ceremonies in the Czech Republic is due to the diffusion of the biblical models in all the sections of the population. A definitive shift between the traditional european way of celebrating death of a relative and the Christian tradition seems to have occured at the end of the nineteenth century. If it is true that the majority of Czech funerals end with the cremation of the body (a process originally refused by the Catholic Church), it is also true that the funeral ceremony at the present day fully accomplishes the principle of severity provided by the Bible. Today most of the Czech funeral ceremonies consist mainly in listening to pieces of music recommended by the management of crematories. A less controlled (and probably more natural) expression of mouming seems to be almost extinct in the culture of the Czech majority.
