Mortuary Art

Mortuary art refers to the artistic creations and decorations associated with funerals and memorials. This includes artifacts like coffins, tombstones, statues, and paintings that honor the deceased, convey their social status, or reflect cultural beliefs about death. Throughout history, mortuary art has evolved to express themes of mortality, spirituality, and remembrance, serving both as a tribute to the departed and as a way for the living to process grief. It combines craftsmanship with symbolic elements to create meaningful memorial objects that preserve memory across generations.
