The burials within a settlement area are a common phenome­non since the Neolithic, and they appear practically throughout the whole Prehistory. Until these days, no extramural cemeteries of the Ludanice group have been discovered; most burials comprise of human skeletons, or rather their parts, buried in separate graves or in settlement pits within the area of the settlement. Separate graves belong to individuals buried according to a certain rite, lying in crouched position either on the right or the left side, body orientations vary. In addition, these graves are not as richly equipped as those of contemporary Tiszapolgár or Bodrogkeresztúr cultures in the Tisa basin. The Ludanice group used to bury their dead in the settlement pits as well as in graves, both being considered a part of the Ludanice group burial rite. As regards the burials in the pits, human remains were buried either according to the burial rite or casually. As indicated by positions of the skeletons (on the back or on the front), absence of burial equipment, and perimortem and lethal injuries. No burial ceremony was probably performed in case of casually buried individuals.
