This dissertation addresses issues related to convergence and divergence of the funeral ceremony of the Church of World Messianity in Japan and Brazil. Funeral plays a fundamental role in the religious work of the Church of World Messianity. The model of ritual presented throughout the presentpaper was proposed by the Second Spiritual Leader,Nidai-Sama, and considered ideal for this kind of rite of passage. The Second Spiritual Leader Nidai-Sama and (wife of the founder Mokichi Okada), who grounded the liturgy principles of the Church of World Messianity, wrote teachings to guide the followers through the fullfilment of such acts. Therefore, given the different cultural aspects between the two countries as well as the specific aspects of the Church of World Messianity, we seek to answer the following questions:Were there any adaptations to the process of transplantation of a liturgy from Japan to Brazil? If adaptations occurred in different poles (cultural, religious and social ones), with theirrespective traditions and habits, which were these adaptations and in which aspects did theytake placeregarding the practice of funeral ritual in the host culture? To answer these questions, we seek justification in the Theory of Religious Transplantation, by Martin Baumann, which allowed us to conclude that convergences and divergences occurring in the transplantation process contributed to a better understanding of rituals of messianic doctrine by the Brazilian community
