The paper examines the famous Tanagra terracotta coffins (larnakes) as loci of enduring memory that contributed to the construction of funerary place and sought to prescribe affect within the heterotopic spaces of tombs. Their complex materialities, which allude to different media, elite and vernacular, local and distant, as well as their evocative iconography, rendered them powerful resources by which to remember ancestors and normatively prescribed affect on the occasion of death. Based on a new synthesis, the study discusses the material and iconographic characteristics of the larnakes and their spatial contexts from the perspective of affect. The larnakes are then cast against broader affective practices, concepts, and visual traditions of the Bronze Age and the later Greek world, and a tentative affective script for death at Tanagra is proposed
