We present two case studies, which constitute two popular forms of devotion: that of the incorrupt bodies, namely the cult to 'saint' Maria Adelaide, and the chapels of bones, in particular those of Évora and Campo Maior. We discuss the attraction that death exerts on the living and try to distinguish the curious blend that seems to exist between religious beliefs and the appeal of the macabre in the selected cases. We also attempted to understand if these are cases that fall into the genre of dark tourism, as conceived by scholars in this field.A key idea remains: faced with death and its inevitability, man is placed before the question of the ephemerality of life and these ideas occupy his thoughts (and actions); the way he conducts his devotion - and especially popular devotion - are well illustrative of this fact. Pretende-se com este estudo, de natureza teórica e histórica, reflectir sobre práticas culturais religiosas relacionadas com a morte. Apresentamos dois estudos de caso, que constituem duas formas populares de devoção: a dos corpos incorruptos, nomeadamente o culto a 'santa' Maria Adelaide, e as capelas de ossos, em particular as de Évora e Campo Maior. Discutimos a atracção que a morte exerce sobre os vivos e procuramos destrinçar a estranha mistura que parece existir entre  os sentimentos religiosos e o apelo do macabro nos casos seleccionados. Tentamos comprender ainda se estes são casos que se podem inserir na categoria de turismo negro, como entendida pelos estudiosos deste campo. Fica uma ideia chave: diante da morte e da sua inevitabilidade, o homem é colocado perante a questão da efemeridade da vida e estas ideias ocupam os seus pensamentos (e acções); a forma como dirigem a sua devoção – e sobretudo a devoção popular – são bem ilustrativos deste facto.
