This research is based on an artistic and educational experience that has been possible thanks, initially, to a period of research at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), and which leads to a subsequent exhibition of the results at the Casal Solleric contemporary art centre in Palma. The incorporation of themes that are rarely dealt with in the educational world, such as death or cemeteries, becomes on this occasion a reason for educational research, promoting art results that are methodologically specified in a case study, in which the complementary Art Based Educational Research ABER. The paper breaks down each of the steps that have been developed, combining the participation of different institutions, grouping strategies where the university and an important art centre come together, especially involving university students. As outstanding conclusions, verify that we can use cemeteries as true museums of memory, introducing death and its rituals in the strategies that will allow us to improve Heritage Education and artistic practice in teacher training.
