A Century of Funeral Change in Burial Practices: From Church Burial to Cremation without a Ceremony

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article describes changes in funeral practices in Czech society which occurred during the 20th century. The first half of the 20th century was specific in the emergence of cremation. The Communist era (1948-1989) was characterized by a huge expansion in the popularity of cremation (the cremation rate in Czechoslovakia had reached 55% by 1988) as well as by a significant increase in the proportion of secular funerals which, by the end of the 1980s, were being conducted for around three-fifths of the deceased. Contemporary Czech funeral practices can be seen as a direct continuation of those of previous generations and are noteworthy in terms both of having one of the highest cremation rates in Europe (80%) and, even more strikingly, the extraordinarily high rate of cases (around one quarter to one third) in which no funeral ceremony is held at all for the deceased. A large number of contemporary Czechs seem not to see the need to define their social identity by means of a funeral.
