The author answers a reference question on the depiction of a funeral in the 2006 Russian documentary film V poiskakh schast’ia (In Search of Happiness), which takes place in the Jewish Autonomous Region in Siberia. Consultations and reference sources show that what was depicted was not Jewish but a typical Russian civil funeral procession. Helpful publications included historical and historical-ethnographic monographs and an ethnographic encyclopedia.
