This a phenomenologial study rites in the memory of elderly people, originated from the discomfort lived by the authors in their professional life dealing with death and dying. Verbal information from elderly people was collected with the objective of recovery and decoding mortuary rites. Nine themes originated from these informations: feelings and meanings in relation to death, the time of death, the annunciation death, the body's preparations, the watcher, the funeral procession, the grave, the return to home, the remembered death. The results gave the authors opportunity to understand better the attitudes of health professionals in caring for patients and their families in this existential experience of to-be-for-death. The death rationalized by scientific knowledge and nonpersonal technological care hides new rites, transmuted by new representations which the society built.
这是一项关于老年人记忆中的仪式的现象学研究，源于作者在职业生涯中处理死亡问题时所经历的不适。收集老年人的口头信息，目的是恢复和解码丧葬仪式。从这些信息中产生了九个主题：与死亡相关的感受和意义、死亡时间、死亡宣告、尸体准备、守灵者、葬礼队伍、坟墓、回家、被铭记的死亡。研究结果使作者有机会更好地理解健康专业人员在这种面对死亡的生存体验中照顾患者及其家人的态度。由科学知识和非人性化技术护理所合理化的死亡隐藏了新的仪式，这些仪式被社会构建的新表象所改变。
