Byzantine people were very interested in life after death. They have created a variety of thoughts about the spirits. They expanded the function of their defined rituals for the soul’s greeting while producing these ideas. At this point, the most important element was the funeral rituals. These rituals are intended to ensure that the person who died does not pass through difficult processes in his subsequent life. The performed ritual is reflected in various elements of Byzantine Art, not only with written text. In the beginning of these are handwriting and wall paintings of the churches. Pictured scenes include the funeral funeral, the death plate, the funeral ceremony, and the themes of placing in the tomb. In early periods, he often focused on the dead person who lie on the death plate and the figures that are sad for him, while over time he gained a different dimension with the diversification of the stages of the ritual. In fact, when it comes to the middle and late periods, the number of figures increased, the use of dust and dust entered the scenes, and the function of the monks in the scene increased. In this regard, the Byzantines did not break from the ancient tradition and perform their own funeral rituals in the framework of Christianity.
