Abstract

In the cemeteries of the province of Tenerife is not difficult to detect in thecemetery to what type of household or individual belongs to a grave and few gravesthat mask the identity through decorations or cryptic epitaphs. Throughout thesecond half of the twentieth century funerary attachment has gradually replacingthe epitaph is now reduced to a register where the names of those buried and datesof birth and death (the first is sometimes replaced by the age of the deceased). Theepitaph itself is a story obituary that expresses both the virtues of the deceasedand the pain and love that they still feel the living on the left side while severalreflections on death. Write epitaphs and obituaries was a literary genre of proseand poetry filled the literature of Romanticism and Neoclassicism. But not always isand always has been. We perform throughout the present article a tour of theepitaphs preserved in the various cemeteries of Tenerife from 1700 to present,many of them retain the evocative narrative ambition.
