I'm a medieval European peasant that died by suicide. Does my family actually acknowledge how I died, or does that get slipped under the rug?

by Cummynist

Inspired by a conversation I had with a friend. His aunt died from suicide and at the funeral her (very Christian) family dodged any and all acknowledgment of the fact that that was how she died. I know medieval Europe was also very religious, and that suicide was commonly considered a sin. So would bereaved families just ignore that it was suicide, or is that a more modern practice?

This answer by u/sunagainstgold in response to a question asking about the prevalence of suicide in medieval times goes over some of the social factors of suicide and the difficulties in counting suicides for the very reason you mention. Hopefully that will help you with some answers while you are waiting for a more direct response
