| | Funerary - definition of Funerary in Encyclopedia |
 | | Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from the funeral itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honor. | | | In some cultures the dead are worshipped; this is commonly called ancestor worship. | | | Nine days after the disposal of the body, by burial or cremation, a feast was given (cena novendialis) and a libation poured over the grave or the ashes. |

| | As for any funerary priests who shall sell his part of the office to any other person, all the benefits that he has been given shall be reclaimed and re-distributed to the other funerary priests in his phyle. | | | As for any funerary priests who undertakes another contract, all the benefits he has been given shall be withdrawn, to be re-distributed to the funerary priests in his phyle. | | | A point of interest in the text inscribed underneath, which was meant to be recited regularly by the funerary priest, by a member of the family or even by a passer-by, is that it supplies for us a list of feast days when the funerary cult should be performed. |

| | Funerary and Other Masks of Ancient Egypt |
| | Funerary masks and other facial coverings for mummies emphasized the ancient Egyptian belief in the fragile state of transition that the dead would have to successfully transcend in their physical and spiritual journey from this world to their divine transformation in the next. | | | Specifically, masked priests, priestesses or magicians, disguising themselves as divine beings such as Anubis or Beset, almost assuredly assumed such identities to exert the powers associated with those deities. | | | Hence, whether worn by the living or the dead, masks played a similar role of magically transforming an individual from a mortal to a divine state. |

| | Everything placed in a tomb had some ritual significance and was made to serve the dead and ensure their comfort as well as to provide an almost certain guarantee of their eternal life in the hereafter. | | | Among the funerary literature of the Egyptians that became known as the Book of the Dead, or the Book of Going Forth by Day, there were specific texts that were appropriate for the various stages of navigating through the Amduat (ie: netherworld). | | | Consequently, all this required an even greater reliance on the services of the priesthood to ensure the final resurrection of the deceased and their eternal life in the hereafter. |

| | Abstract |
| | Heir, other family members and funerary priests may be represented as they should be, not as they actually were. | | | Namely, it can be considered that a tomb owner put his/her will into the inscriptions and the decoration of the tomb, wishing for eternal funerary cult and life. | | | However, we should recognize that most of them express an ideal rather than a real situation. |

| | Axial alignment amongst neolithic funerary monuments |
| | Basic similarities in ground plan and superstructure between longbarrows and longhouses might suggest some interrelationship, perhaps that the former directly mimicked the latter, or at least retained some notion of domestic pedigree as representing houses for the dead. | | | There is a common symbolic association between the setting sun and death and given that these barrow sites were largely funerary monuments then their orientation towards the setting sun might have been appropriate and have established an axis along which other ritual could be directed. | | | Retention of this windward orientation at funerary monuments might also have conferred distinct practical benefits such as providing leeward shelter for the foreground where much of the attendant ritual might have taken place. |
