Question

I heard in France suicide is a crime and even successful suicides still get punished. So the dead victim still goes to court to get tried, but their body is covered in salt to preserve it.

Answer 1

Although legal authorities could not upbraid the victims of self-killing directly, they did warn the rest of the population against such behavior.

Thus, the law prescribed treatment for the body of the suicide that was designed to stick in the memory--most notoriously, a setting of the corpse in a public place, with a stake through the heart.

Other so-called punishments for self-killing were on the books.

For example, many areas in Europe in the early modern era threatened to deny suicides burial in consecrated ground, and spoke of confiscating the deceased's estates.
