Summary
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.
