[At] the burial of a harness racing driver, his horse was brought to the cemetery. [A] beer cart... stood just outside the cemetery, and [the mourners] drank to [the deceased] health [and] threw the beer glasses into the grave instead of flowers... These examples show that the pluralization of lifestyles which is taking place within society... has made its way into funeral culture in the form of a diversification of burial rituals. 2, record 1, English, - funeral%20culture

Les rites funéraires mohawks sont assez complexes : selon leurs croyances, le voyage vers l'au-delà se déroule tant dans le monde du soleil que celui des terrains de chasse éternels. C'est pourquoi les objets utilisés pour perpétuer le voyage vers ces milieux spirituels sont fort variés, et représentent tantôt des outils pour la chasse, tantôt des offrandes au dieu du soleil et à la terre-nourricière. 2, record 2, French, - rite%20fun%C3%A9raire
