Summary/Abstract: Death is part of life cycle in human existence in this world and the hereafter. Regarding this topic we have treated a certain ethnographic area as Gallap. We described the rituals of death, which are present even today. There are included rituals and superstitions such as warning signs for death, some prohibited movements that bring death, etc. There are described also all customary traditions that begin with human's death, information about his/her death, burial and to the rituals after death, or the remembrance of death with lamentations and other forms, which show the evil that has happened to the family. The research of these rites has been done to the people of Muslim religion, since most of this area belongs to this religion.
