If someone in a Karen village dies, all the persons' neighbors and friends will stop work for the day. Working right after someone has died is prohibited. In Karen this is called, “deupgasalaw ma." It means, "a prohibition for the spirit of the deceased which has passed away. " Everyone in the village will stop work to come attend the funeral of the deceased.
The funeral also do when the cousin ready to do such as the person's sons, daughters or brothers live far away can't come to join. They will consult for looking a suitable time, mostly after harvesting or dry season.
Outstanding rite is “Matha” chant trunk mostly by young people but now the young didn't do that it will be lost in next generation.
