burial custom
Death rite practice
Burial customs are the practices and rituals a culture observes when disposing of the dead.
These vary widely—from cremation to entombment to sky burial—and typically reflect beliefs about death, the afterlife, and proper respect for the deceased.
Different burial customs made the interfaith funeral complicated.
The phrase usually appears in anthropological or historical contexts.
