History of Funerals

It was not uncommon to bury a loved one with food, and ample money, as well as extra clothing and grooming supplies. With the extremely wealthy, including Pharaohs and Queens it was not uncommon for one or more of the family’s servants to accompany the deceased into the tomb as if to continue service to the family in death. This type of ritual self sacrifice did not occur with any other class of person as it was reserved only for royalty.
