The objective of this essay is to strengthen Salvadoran cultural identity by highlighting the funerary beliefs associated with the use of crosses and cenotaphs placed along roads after the death of a family member or loved one, typically due to a traffic accident. To achieve this, texts, articles and research related to the topic were reviewed and their implications were analyzed for the construction of this essay. Additionally, a visit was made to the David J. Guzmán National Museum of Anthropology to gather museographic data linked to Salvadoran identity.
