ABSTRACT: Mourning and the farewell from the young, unmarried deceased are such occasional folk customs, which have survived only in the memory of the older generations. In the northern part of the Transylvanian Plain the traditional singing repertoire consists of mourning and funeral songs – besides the songs of the sitting, performed from the hymnals. The presented examples of mourning songs in general have a formal structure, their performance is individual, while the funeral songs are sung in groups, occasionally accompanied by musicians.

Key words: Funeral, mourning, Transylvanian Plain
