Abstract

The funerary text is present in spaces linked to the fact of the death of any entity, with part of its life being eternalized in the cemetery, specifically in the tomb, with the figure of the epitaph. In addition to the place destined for the “eternal rest” of the mortal remains, there is the one published in local newspapers, among them the Necrology stands out as a literary writing made to inform about the death of significant characters within its society from the biography as relevant data. Within this context, the present article analytically approaches Necrologies concretely in the biographical corpus, published in the newspaper O Nacional, from the city of Passo Fundo (RSBrasil) in the 20th century, aiming to show the importance of this type of texts in the historical-social reconstruction, being a primary source of social memory in real time, (re)interpreted in our research from a contemporary perspective.
