Abstract
The article covers Kabardian funeral customs in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The Kabardi-ans have three stages of funeral practice: pre-burial, funeral, and funeral rite. To identify trans-formations, pre-burial rites are analyzed in most detail, where ideas about the soul, attitudes to-wards the deceased and his body, as well as prohibitions associated with death are clearly traced. A detailed description and interpretation of modern rituals is necessary to identify and analyze the transformations occurring in the spiritual sphere of Kabardian society. The last decade has seen an increase in Islamic traditions in Kabardian funeral rituals, despite globalization and changes in ethno-cultural values.
