My scholarly interest in the funereal customs of Vorumaa County began in the late 1980s as I started to supervise student field-work in the parishes of the historic Vorumaa region. Although there were records in the Estonian Folklore Archives on the topics I was interested in (e.g. cross-trees, funeral customs in general, folk medicine, etc.), it appeared that the material had gaps and there was no consistency in how information about any given topic had been elicited. My own knowledge of Voru heritage also included details and motives not found in the archive. Because of this, I set my preliminary research task as describing and analysing the funereal customs characteristic of historic Vorumaa that have thus far not been recorded or that very little is known about. The folklore material I have collected in the 13 summers of field work has been deposited in the Estonian Folklore Archives and forms the basis of the current work.
