attachments bind to this cycle. The soul itself is not subject to death. Death is only a
progression to the journey from god, through the created universe, and back to god
again. The Sikhs try to constantly be mindful of death  so he or she can be
sufficiently prayful, and the righteous to break the cycle of birth and death and return
to god. Because the soul never dies there is no mourning at the death of Sikhs. There
is most praying at a funeral so the soul can be released from the bonds of
reincarnation and to become on with God again.]]> 2020-04-20 13:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/SeinaNurshakirin/351v6nqgdu6xmtzo/wish/517461228 Before the funeral ceremony SeinaNurshakirin https://padlet.com/SeinaNurshakirin/351v6nqgdu6xmtzo/wish/517462073 1) The body of the Sikh will always be cremated which occurs within three days after

The main door and the front windows were similarly demarcated. All mirrors in the house were either covered with white cloths or be “X” over with white masking tapes. This was done to prevent deflecting the soul of the recently deceased. If two deaths occurred in a family consecutively, mourning   favoured the latest death For the deceased had his funeral done away from his own home then a chye kee (red banner/bunting) must be hung at the main door of the residence that hosted the wake. This was to show that nobody from that house had died.]]> 2020-04-20 14:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/SeinaNurshakirin/351v6nqgdu6xmtzo/wish/517587386 Mourning SeinaNurshakirin https://padlet.com/SeinaNurshakirin/351v6nqgdu6xmtzo/wish/517587836 The full duration of the mourning period was three years. This is known as tua-har berat (heavy mourning). It is divided into stages. For the first 100 days, the mourners would wear traditional Chinese mourning garb that was made from belachu (sackcloth material). The womenfolk who would normally don the chignon had to let down their hair as an expression of grieve. The subsequent one year, the mourners would wear fully black baju and sarong (nyonya attire). The nyonya  would start doing her chignon during the “black” mourning stage. The following stages would be one year of chit-itam (black-white combination), then six months biru (blue) and the final six months of ijoh (green). The mourners would perhaps mourn only 90 days out of the 100 days or 11 months out of the one year.

Then, they would switch to wearing a small square patch (made from sackcloth) on the shirt sleeve for 100 days. If the deceased was male, the patch would be worn on the left arm. However, if the deceased was female, the patch would be worn on the right. Subsequently, they would wear a black arm-band for one year, in accordance with the western practice.

Women: the nyonyas would adorn themselves with pearl mourning jewellery set in silver. The whiteness of pearl and silver was thought to be apt for mourning. Such pearl jewellery was not only worn by the mourners but also interned with the deceased. It was known that some living nyonyas would commission replicas of their favourite gold diamond jewellery in silver and pearl, to be worn when they depart.

The Batek tribe is the third biggest indigenous community in Kelantan and most of them are still practising their old traditions, such as funeral rites.“It is their belief that the burial of a family member, particularly one who has died of an unknown disease, should be done far away from their homes, such as in the jungles, as they do not want their souls or other ‘bad things’ to return.

An integral part of the funerary rites is playing the traditional gong musical ensemble called dunsai, which is played during the funeral. The gongs were traditionally beaten according to this particular sombre rhythm to announce to the spirit world the death and the pending arrival of a new member, and to the secular world that death has occurred and due preparations had to be made.  Dunsai music is especially significant as only six hanging gongs without the drum are used. These days the Dunsai is widely recognized as the funerary music of the Kadazan Penampang, and is played during the wake and on the sixth day after the burial.  This paper documents the traditional observances of the funerary rites featuring the Dunsai music based on the ancestral animistic beliefs of the Kadazan of the Kg. Kituau, Penampang, Sabah.  It also attempts to show these funerary rites as a continuing cultural symbol of the Kadazan Penampang identity that transcends the past and present beliefs since many members of the community now subscribe to other faiths.

First of all body is washed and then dressed up in fine clothes and sprinkled with rose-water. Sometimes, if the deceased was a cigarette or cheroot cigarette smoker, a cigarette or cheroot is located in his mouth. The body is kept inside your home from three to a week before it is buried. While the body is inside your home, all the occupants must keep awake. Whoever comes off to rest will be doused with drinking water and cannot take offence.


When your body is ready, it is carried in procession to the grave to the accompaniment of gongs and drums, firecrackers and gunfire. On entrance, a spell is cast over the body by an seniors man specially chosen to wait by the wide open grave. The grave itself is swept with green betelnut leaves so as to avoid the spirits of these who have come along being left out there.


The person is then lowered in to the grave while a sprig from a banyan tree is taken and caught up over its navel. After this has been done, the grave is filled in. The goal of the banyan sprig is to see if the deceased still feels of his partner and children. If he does indeed, the sprig will sprout a photograph; if no capture appears, this means that he has ignored about those he has left out.

A hundred days later another feast is performed. This feast is much grander than any of the past ones, a buffalo and several chickens being slaughtered for the occasion.
