In the life of a man there are three elements of decisive importance, they are: birth, marriage and death. Human relations with the environment begin before birth and end with death. This happens especially in traditional social media, where man is very closely linked to the surrounding social environment. In the traditional social environment, the birth of a man has the meaning of entering a world with well-defined traditions and Customs. From the great wealth of traditions and Customs in our work we have submitted to attention the traditions regarding funeral customs as the final stage of human existence, starting from the idea that life is a crossing, a party, a road with three great thresholds. This last part of life death is the tragic ending of a biological cycle. At this stage the participation of the individual is only symbolic in the conduct of events. Religious traditions are predominant in both Muslims and Christians, which leads to the standardization of Customs. As collective rites, they are periodic ceremonies of remembrance of the deceased. As rites of aggregation, first of all are the meals after the funeral and those on the occasion of commemoration, the tables aimed at renewing for the members of a group remaining alive, and sometimes with the deceased, the chain broken by the disappearance of one from its elements. Man's duty is to live life as long as he was given himself, no more, no less. Life is a road with thresholds, from which you cannot turn, nor can you stop.
