By Avner Ben-Amos. This is an interdisciplinary study of the state funerals that were celebrated in France between the French Revolution and the death of François Mitterand. Combining the insights of anthropologists and sociologists with a historical analysis, it argues that the dualcharacter of the ceremony, a political festival and final rite of passage, turned the state funeral into a gripping event to which few French people could remain indifferent.
