“A morte a partir da percepção de tanatopraxistas da cidade de Naviraí/MS”

Abstract

The perception of death is the theme of the present research. An exploratory analysis from an anthropological perspective was sought, focusing on the professionals in thanatology in the city of Naviraí/MS and their reflections on death. The chosen methodology for the approach involved fieldwork, including interviews with professionals in the field, and a bibliographic survey was conducted. The study aims to understand the functions of thanatopraxists, the relationship of the profession to this ritual, and the conception of death.
