Testaments of the nobility from the Old Polish period are an excellent source presenting various visions of the funeral. In the last wills, we find various information about the Chris-tian funeral ceremony, the type of coffin, funeral dress, number of candles, the place of burial and a contemptuous attitude towards one’s body after death.
