The article analyzes the features of the funeral rite, highlights its characteristic features and cultural markers. The composition of the funeral equipment’s in each burial is individual and is represented by tools and household equipment’s and jewelry. More over all burials contained the funeral equipment’s with traces of pyrogenic effects. In seven burials, the funeral equipment’s were located inside a cluster of burnt bones. In three burials they were located above and below the main bone remains. In one case, the funeral equipment’s were placed above a cluster of fragments of human bones. Based on the results of the analysis of cremated bones, 12 individuals from 9 burials were identified. Most of the burials are individual. Three burials are paired, in which an adult and a child (from 0 to 3 years old) are buried.
