During the 14th Century, possibly because of the crisis that Europe suffered during these years, a series of changes in the mentality arose in relation with the devotion and the relationship of the faithful with God. A new and intimist religious sentiment developed and it changed the way in which people perceived death. Individualism lead to a preference for the judgement of the soul in the precise moment of the death of the individual as opposed to the collective Final Judgement which was extremely important in previous centuries. These changes in the mentality regarding death transformed the funeral rites, that adapted to the new ideas. It also had a heavy influx on art, especially in the sepulchres.
