Abstract
Elza says that Kalmyk funerals in the past were different. For example, women did not go to burial places, nor did children. It was only men who were allowed to. Seven days after the burial, people gathered, but Elza does not remember whether women were allowed to come. The dead were also wrapped in blankets, for cloth was rare and in short supply. Today, by contrast, both women and children do participate in funerals.
