Starting from a classic text regarding tradition, considered a product of modern societies that contribute to its invention and use in various contexts, the present paper connects results from field research conducted in two places in Banat. By using ethnographic description, it analyses how tradition manifests today, either in its patrimonialised dimension, through the Swabian practices from Deta, or in its living dimension, in the form of funerary rites from Denta.
