What is Tagalog Customs: Community, Marriage, Death about?
The burial and death practices of the Tagalog people have changed significantly over time due to factors like the introduction of Christianity and modernization. Originally, the dead were buried near the home and mourned for four days. They were then placed in a boat and guarded. Today, burials take place underground or through cremation, and mourning periods are flexible. Beliefs in an afterlife and the existence of ghosts have also been replaced or modified with the spread of Christianity.
