The Jodaujo Lua is the standard period of mourning observed by members of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo, its origin predates the Norka (The Exodus).

The mourning lasts a Lua (month) or 4 odasaenor (eight day week). During this time the body is kept preserved, and the Punla (Family) contacts the Kyn Lumu'ai Jael (Lore Keepers Sect). The punla will meet with them regarding the chronicles of the fallen member several times. The chronicle is used during the funeral.

During the third and fourth odasaenor all of the adult members of the punla will skip one meal a day. The cost of that meal is calculated and put into a bowl for safe keeping.

At the end of the mourning period all members of the family are expected to attend the Devotopa Sou'te funeral. At the Temple of choice the family will gather, and the deceased is present in a sealed covered coffin. Members of the family come forward to speak of the fallen, sharing a special moment that the two had. Any member of the family can come forward to speak.

After the remembrance is concluded, the Kyn Lumu'ai Jael (Lore Keepers Sect) come forward and present the chronicle to the family, and make a copy of it available to any who wish to view it.

Then members from the Detis Goa'ai Jael (Faith Walkers Sect) come forward and lead the gathered in prayers to Siamaka. At one point they ask the family to bring foward the bowl with the meal money. The Ta'a of the punla brings the money to the Detis Goa'ai and state how the money is to be donated. The Detis Goa'ai accept the offering and ask Siamaka to bless it, and those that it is given to.

After the conclusion of this religious ceremony the Soujo Jyaon (Rules for the Dead) take place.
