Abstract

In the past, whenever a person died, the funeral rituals of the Chao Bon ethnic group would be as follows. The dead body would be wrapped with strips of split bamboo, tied with pieces of ivy at the head, waist and ankles, and buried in his/her land. After that, his/her house would be dismantled and rebuilt close to the original one. The ethnic group buried dead bodies without having any religious rituals, because they were animists. Later on when the ethnic group was in contact with the Lao and Korat Thai residing in the same area, the acculturation process took place and the funeral rituals were adapted with more complex steps. Due to the acculturation process, cremation was used instead. The funeral rituals reflected the relationship between rituals and groups of people with different racial, religious, linguistic and traditional backgrounds.
            The rituals were changed in order for the survival of the ethnic group. Moreover, rituals also reflected the relationship of the givers and takers between the dead and the society, politics, administration, economy and environment of the communities that had always been intertwined amid rapid changes of circumstances.
