Death-related conceptualizations and practices display local notions of religion, gender, morality and identity. Perceptions of a mutual influence of the living and the dead are prevalent throughout Central Asia; the entanglement of both worlds puts the well-being of people into the hands of benevolent ancestors and vice versa. Funerary and commemoration rites maintain a complaisant relationship between the ancestors and their living progeny. Ancestors keep an important role in the social fabric of their family whose moral standing depends on honouring the deceased and paying them respect. In many funerary rituals, parallels of birth and death are invoked, attesting to conceptions of a circle of life and death. In Uzbekistan and neighbouring countries during the post-independence years, conspicuous consumption on ritual occasions and the large-scale performance of formerly small, family ceremonies have become powerful markers of social standing.

This article reports on the physical changes within a number of cemeteries in Iran since the Islamic Republic replaced the Pahlavi monarchy in 1979. It notes changes relating to funerary traditions, such as the placement of imagery and other material culture connected to the martyrs of the eight-year Iran–Iraq war, the etching images of the faces of the departed on gravestones and the renaming of many cemeteries after members of the house of the Prophet Mohammad. Urban cemeteries around Iran were visited during several research trips (2006, 2009, 2011), and a number of official websites of the Islamic Republic of Iran were consulted for data related to the use of new technology and government plans for the expansion or closing down of some cemeteries. The official Iranian government graveyard websites were also accessed. This study illustrates how the reshaping and the renaming of specific landscapes in a sacred place, in this case cemeteries, creates an earthly image of heaven for the Iranian Shi'i population.
