We will analyze the funeral rituals performed in life, such as the writing of the will, the performance of the sacraments, the procession of viaticum; the funeral rites performed after death, the use of the shroud, the commissioning of the soul procession; and the places of burial. We use as a source: the wills, inventories, death row book number 1 (1864-1886) of the Parish of Our Lady of Victory (Mother Church), the Reports of the Presidents of the Province of Sergipe Del Rey on: Cemeteries, Hospitals and Health Public.
