Burial

"Sundok" is the Molbog term for the two wooden markers placed at the head and foot of a deceased individual's burial site. These markers indicate the presence of a grave in that location.

"Kukuputi" is a white cloth used to wrap the deceased's body, serving as a shroud or covering and coffin during burial. It is a wide tradition of the Molbog ethnolinguistic groups that they do not use coffins. After wrapping this cloth, the body is tied up and only removed during the burial.

After a person passes away, there is a tradition among all Moro groups in the Philippines where the deceased is buried within 24 hours.

It is a common tradition among Moro groups that when a person passes away, the body undergoes a cleansing process like to embalming but they believed that embalming is already similar to murder because of touching the body.

Muslims observe a 100-day mourning period after the death of a loved one, which is a common practice established in Islamic culture. This longer period of mourning allows family members and close relatives to remember the departed and assist one another during the grief process. During these 100 days, prayers are said on a regular basis for the deceased soul. They observe mourning rituals on specific days following the death, including the 20th day, 30th day, and subsequent intervals leading up to the 100th day, as part of their mourning tradition. This period is also a time for thought and spiritual contemplation, enabling the bereaved to seek comfort and closure in their loss via Islamic teachings and community support.
