The transition of the Roman funeral (with its focus on the family) to a Christian liturgy for death (focusing on clergy and text) has never been explored. Nor has mourning the dead, as part of the funeral-in-transition. This study is, therefore, a new inquiry. Its aim is to ascertain how change and continuity constructed a Christian response to death that began to manifest in the Latin West around the time of Charlemagne ca. 800 CE. The study asks: To what extent did the Christian Roman family influence the christianization of the Roman funeral? What role did women's mourning play during the transformation?Literary and non-literary sources (church councils, letters, homilies, hagiographies, graffiti, inscriptions, etc.) from the late antique period were scrutinized using insights and methods from ritual studies and theories from place and performance studies. Material evidence (archaeology, art, artifacts, monuments, grave goods, etc.) were analyzed with the help of mortuary studies along with memory and social identity studies. Heuristic devices such as the "rhetoric of condemnation" and the "hermeneutics of suspicion" mitigated androcentric (elite male bias) elements in the data. Additionally, the Roman funeral process, as identified by Valerie M. Hope in Roman Death, was used as the heuristic for assessing change in the funeral. Finally, the data was read from the perspective of "ordinary" Christians apart from the clerical/monastic minority; women were considered in terms of their kinship relationships, domestic practices, roles as memory-keepers and ritual specialists, as household managers, as caretakers and healers, and as patrons.Key results of this study show that the transition of the Roman funeral to a Christian liturgy for death was due to a slow shift in jurisdiction from domestic rites performed by the family, to control of the funeral by clergy. By the eighth century, family funerary rituals and ritual places had been assimilated, adapted, and innovated by church officials to formulate-under the direction of the Carolingian reformers-a liturgy recorded in books known as ordines and sacramentaries. Negotiation between ordinary Christians and the church gradually created a formalized set of rituals for dying, death, and burial. Remarkably however, of those rituals, women's mourning and lament performances retained a certain degree of independence, which persisted throughout late antiquity and beyond.
