The research has been carried out within the territory which nowadays forms the Basque Country, lying in an area that stretches from the River Adour in the North, down to the River Ebro in the South. It is governed by two political authorities within the Spanish State (The Basque Autonomous Community and The Community of Navarre), and also includes part of the French Department of the Atlantic Pyrenees. Altogether, it covers an area of 20,531 sq. kms., and its population amounts to 2,937,151 inhabitants (in 1990).
A lo largo de la obra se describe el conjunto de los actos que componen el ritual funerario. En primer lugar aquéllos que tienen lugar en la casa mortuoria: agonía, recepción de los Sacramentos, comunicación de la muerte, amortajamiento del cadáver, velatorio del muerto. Seguidamente los ritos que acompañan el traslado del féretro a la iglesia: caminos mortuorios, composición e indumentaria de la comitiva fúnebre, ofrendas en el cortejo, la celebración de las exequias.
