Summary/Abstract: In the villages of the Beiușului Depression, the preliminary rites in case of death are well defined. From the moment the death occurred, the family members are concerned with strictly observing each stage of the funeral ceremony. Respect is important both for the one preparing for the great journey and for those left alive. The candle is a ritual object present in many sequences and implicitly with multiple valences.
