CONT

[...] tombes égyptiennes, stèles romaines ou mobilier funéraire médiéval [...] l’art funéraire est une source inépuisable de création et d’innovation artistique. [...] l’art funéraire est au service de la mémoire depuis sa plus lointaine origine. [...] Il existe bien entendu quelques civilisations hermétiques à l’art funéraire, comme l’Inde mais le fait de ne conserver aucune sépulture reste très rare.
