Since the 1950s, the traditional funeral rite has undergone far-reaching changes in Iparralde (the part of the Basque Country within France) and continues to do so at an ever-increasing rate. Some of them, already irreversible, are above all testament to a social order and a view of the world that are very alien to the new generations. However, a significant part of the rituals survives, but they are often mere “points of reference” and “organisational frames” lingering in people’s memory. But for how long?
En la parte costera, se aprecia una ruptura total con respecto al interior. Allí, la muerte se trata fuera del contexto de la casa, ''etxe'', y del marco que forma la sociedad de los vecinos. En cuanto a los cristianos, allí más que en cualquier otro lugar, tienen que asumir su fe en medio de la indiferencia, en el mejor de los casos.
