The Gypsies Funerals are a very important rite of passage for their community. When one dies it is usual to maintain a long vigil to the body that is usually buried with their personal belongings like jewelry.
Some funeral attract crowds that flock to pay tribute. Personally, I saw some gypsies funeral and has indescribable it maybe the environment: the sound of mourning of mirinhorôn (Romani’s widow in the dictionary), and the black robes …
I intended to reflect my interpretation of the gypsy funeral ritual, with particular attention to the central female figure of mirinhorôn.
