Although death has been the subject of several interdisciplinary interpretations, it is still a matter of reflection nowadays. Asking questions about the relationship between death and youth offers a multitude of perspectives to explore. In this text, we examine the commemorative practices of bereaved young people. Our study is based mainly on a singular case of rituality lived in a group of young adults of 18-25 years. Through the narrative of the ritualization that followed the accidental death of one of the members of the group, we will try to understand how death and mourning are experienced when dealing with the loss of one of their own and what role social media can play in these circumstances. There is reason to believe that the rituals carried out by the peer group on the fringe of traditional funeral rites during burial and commemorative practices – such as the erection of a road marker – are part of the process of mourning and are in a way the expression of the taming of death which passes through group regeneration.
