ABSTRACT

The funeral of the Pula people is a symbolic behavior constructed in their specific historical and cultural context. After countless repetitions of the Pula people throughout history, the ceremony gradually became procedural and ultimately fixed. According to the theory of transitional rituals, the funeral rituals of the Pula people have transitional meanings that vary with location, state, and identity, and can be divided into three major stages: separation, marginalization, and aggregation. In each stage, many ritual behaviors contain rich symbolic meanings.
