The objective of this research was to analyse the changes and continuities in managing death from the beginning of the 20th century to current times. Having conducted around thirty interviews in different towns in the Vall d’Albaida region with people born between the 20’s and 40’s last century, we have drawn up a narrative about the processes surrounding death, dealing with two very different moments in history: the beginning of the 20th century and present time, subsequently describing and comparing practices such as shrouding, the wake or the burial, among other subjects.
