 Death was a sad time and a time for mourning in ancient Egypt. © Karen Devine 2013

 As part of the grieving process women wore special clothing and wept loudly, whilst men stopped bathing, shaving and eating.  When a pharaoh died, the entire country entered into mourning. © Karen Devine 2013

 The deceased person’s body was taken to a cemetery found in the low desert where it was purified and embalmed for mummification.  Various spells and prayers were uttered by the embalming priests. © Karen Devine 2013

 From there the body was transported by boat to the west bank of the Nile for the funeral.  Loud wailing could be heard from the mourners. © Karen Devine 2013

 After the Opening of the Mouth ceremony was performed, the body was placed inside the coffin and then inside the sarcophagus.  It was then placed in the tomb. © Karen Devine 2013

 Many aspects of daily life were buried too such as furniture, figurines and cosmetics.  The tomb was then sealed. © Karen Devine 2013

 Poorer people however did not have such lavish and extravagant funerals. © Karen Devine 2013

 Burials for poorer people meant that the deceased was placed in the warm sands of the Egyptian desert in a foetal position. © Karen Devine 2013

 The dry nature of the nation allowed a natural mummification process to take place in these sands. © Karen Devine 2013
