FAMILY CEREMONIES IN CONNECTION WITH FUNERAL (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE KARAKALPAKS OF THE FERGANA VALLEY)

Abstract

Rituals associated with death have a history of several thousand years. They incorporate universal and religious values as well as customs and traditions arising from the demands of life. Sociologists point out that among all the ceremonies, the rituals and ceremonies associated with human death and burial have been passed down from ancestors to generations as a basic life value that is considered sacred to society.
