Abstract

A funeral is one of the ceremonies that falls into the cultural sphere of a society and is one of the customs that all societies with different religions and cultures pay attention to. Mourning etiquette, as part of the ritual culture that is within the belly of everyday social relations, can be a speaking criterion for understanding the extent and level of religious and cultural developments in society. In this article, it is intended to examine the issue of mourning among the manuyan. As one of the religious minorities in Iran, the manuyan had a special religious and cultural fabric, including the attention to mourning among this minority. Something that has been perhaps underestimated so far. This is done in an analytical-descriptive way to show what beliefs and thoughts were influenced by the issue of mourning among them. It seems that due to the political and social atmosphere of the lives of the manuans and their connection with other religions, their funeral was a combination of rituals and ideas.
