Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to study ritual practices related to death and burial in the village Ungureni, ethnographic Lăpuş area. We formulated the hypothesis that our culture will be governed by traditional anthropological variables which exert constant pressure on social being, based on a specific matrix. Phenomenal existence of individuals and groups is marked of these constants. Their spatial and temporal mobility, their mobility socio-professional, role-statuses multiplication, the impact of communications on the motivational sphere are factors that determine changes in cognitive level, in people's minds.
