Cette these est en 3 volumes. Le premier volume retrace l'historique du cimetiere de la chartreuse a bordeaux et du service des pompes funebres de la revolution a nos jours. La mise en service du cimetiere consacre en 1817 fut lente. Le systeme des concessions ne se mit en place que tres progressivement et de l'emporta sur les champs communs qu'au milieu du xxe siecle. L'urbanisation ayant rattrape les 27 hectares occupes par le cimetiere, le transfert ou le remplacement de la chartreuse fut envisage a la fin du xixe siecle pendant une vingtaine d'annees. Le projet fut abandonne et si la ville de bordeaux compte en 1986 d'autres necropoles, la chartreuse reste le lieu d'inhumation le plus actif. L'histoire des pompes funebres a bordeaux est celle d'une lente depossession des fabriques au profit de la municipalite. Celle-ci gere le cimetiere et en tire revenus et soucis (longue bataille pour l'adoption des corbillards, entretien et salubrite a assurer). Le second volume, tres illustre est tout entier consacre a la troisieme partie de la these = typologie des monuments et de leurs epitaphes, symbolique funeraire, et cela davantage dans une perspective d'histoire des mentalites que d'histoire de l'art. Cette etude met en evidence que la forme de monument la mieux representee a la chartreuse est celle du sarcophage. Elle souligne l'importance de tout le xixe siecle pour le discours funeraire et le remplacement progressif et irreversible de la pierre par le granit dans le courant du xxe siecle, la pratique de la reprise des concessions aboutissant, helas, a la disparition de nombreux monuments anciens. Un volume annexe regroupe documents et epitaphes complementaires ainsi qu'un index
The thesis is composed of three volumes ; the first retraces the history of the chartreuse cemetry and the undertakers administration from the time of the revolution through until the present day. The cemetry first opened and was concecrated in 1817. Initial use was slow until the system of concessions was progressively introduced to the detriment of the common lands, which finally disappeared in the 1960s. The chartreuse cemetry found itself, quite rapidly, surrounded by urbanisation and for some 20 years, its transfer or replacement was seriously considered. The project was finally abandoned an if the town of bordeaux, today, boasts a number of other burial grounds, the chartreuse still remains the most popular. Bordeaux's history of catholic undertakers is that of a slow decline in fabric, to the benefit of the municipality. The latter administers the cemetry which earns it both income and problems, (battle over the adoption of hearses, maintenance difficulties, hygene and health. . . ). The second volume provides an abundant illustration for the third part of the thesis, which is devoted to the typology of monuments and epitaphs, together with the symbols used at funerals, within the context of historical mental perspectives. The study highlights the shapes and forms of the monuments most commonly to be seen in the chartreuse : sarcophagi, the importance given throughout the 19th century to epitaphs and the replacement, finally, of stone by granit ; the growing habit of re-allocating concessions, which, alas, has led to the disappearance of many of the old monuments. In annex, is a final volume covering additional documents and epitaphs
