Abstract

Iran, as a society in the transitional stage, has undergone significant transformation, particularly over the recent fifty years. Likewise, rituals around the death phenomenon have recently experienced dramatic changes in Iran. Despite their importance and their implications for the cultural studies, there has been little scholarship that aims to investigate and explain these changes. More precisely, the previous research has been particularly inattentive to the effects of the modernity on the Death Rituals in Iran. This paper will try to scrutinize such effect. We have conducted fieldwork, including participatory observations, in Tehran’ s main Cemetery, Behesht-e Zahra. In addition, this study utilized deep-interviews with people who have attended death ceremonies. Results showed that while in the pre-modern Iran, the Death Rituals and practices were performed in a simple way and had been fulfilled mainly by the survivors, they had been transformed to a complex process in more recent years, within which survivors had little control over. It was also indicated that modernity not only had influenced the death Culture, but also had changed people attitudes toward the concept of death in Iran.
