Den döde
begrafves i den klädnad hanCastrén’s description of burial customs corresponds to other contemporary descriptions. The deceased are said to be buried in their own clothes in wooden coffins that only seldom get buried underground. The deceased is equipped with everyday utensils and a sledge, which are all broken during the ritual. Additionally, reindeer slaughtered near the burial place are given to the deceased. Consequently, their life is thought to continue in the hereafter. när (Lepehin 1805: 116–118, 257; Islavin 1847: 135–139; Schrenk 1848: 522-523; also Chomič 1966: 217–222; 1977: 24–28) See also [Hähe] and [den döda].
