This thesis is focused on the ways the evangelical people experience the death. The literature review evidenced that the Pentecostal orthodoxy presents the death as an irreversible event, so there are no possibilities to deal with the sacred in order to favor the ones who had already gone and no ways to interact them with the living ones. This point of view contrasts with the one that has been conventionalized by the Catholic tradition, recognized as indicating the richness of Brazilian death s rites. Our research shows an ethnographic work in the district of Praia de Maua, in Magé, Rio de Janeiro, intending to contribute to the comprehension of how evangelicals experience the funeral patterns and ritualize them, exceeding their orthodoxy. Observing evangelicals city, cemetery, churches and homes during burial and mourning processes, it was possible to argue in this thesis that to face the death and to evaluate the dead s fate take into account negotiations which refers to the Catholicism cosmology. The Catholicism cosmology is re-interpreted from a variety of terms, such as models of socially acceptable person and the possibility of emotional comfort among the bereaved ones. Therefore, in the relationship between religions, this work emphasizes the encapsulation and sharing dynamics rather than the collapse and contrast. .
