The article analyses archaeological excavations which were carried out in the county of Lne-Viru in the Viru-Nigula churchyard. During the excavation a tomb with two burials was opened -a woman, buried in 1821, and a man, buried in 1841, were studied. From the head of the coffin five sets of glass plates with silhouette portraits were unearthed. These are unique in the 19th-century Estonian context and contemporary examples are not known from neighbouring areas either. In addition to the example from Viru-Nigula tomb, an overview is given of the situation of research into burials of Modern Age as a whole
