Visitors to western Brittany in the nineteenth century were impressed by three attributes of Breton culture: the Celtic language and traditions, Catholic piety and a remarkable veneration for the dead. A départemental administrator who toured Finistère in 1829–31, remarked ‘nothing is more sacred... than the veneration given to the dead, than the religion of the tomb’ (Badone, 1989, pp. 1–2)
