Abstract

 This work is aimed at analyzing the perspectives of the death and dying as expressed by relatives when searching for the  simbology to be present in the grave. The research has a qualitative photoethnographic approach. The bibliography allowed for the basis to collect the narratives from the families of people deceased and buried in Umuarama (PR) City Cemetery. The choice of this burial place considered the variety of the graves and the previous contact with relatives.
