Abstract
This article proposes to realize a Weberian sociological analysis regarding the relationship between the process of rationalization and the secularization of death and the aesthetic changes in the morphology of the tomb, in which one perceives much more its utilitarian rather than sacral character. In this sense, the research looks at the social processes involved in this situation, trying to identify that such variations in the cemetery scenario also reflect a relationship with the process of significant changes in society, which is faced with modern facilities that save the mourners to maintain direct contact with their recently deceased entities, providing a reality in which a kind of death market is maintained and survives, and in a certain way, contributes to a new meaning of funeral practices, in which its religious dimension gives way the rationalized processes in dealing with death.
