Sumario:Sehwan Sharif, a Pakistani pilgrimage city, is an ideal framework for studying the place of the dead in space and in the lives of the living, as it feeds on the tomb of the Sufi Lāl Shahbāz Qalandar. It owes it not only its status as a holy town and its notoriety, but also its economic resources and the organization of its social life. However, the city also has two other funeral spaces : public burial grounds and Sufi hospices built around the graves of the disciples-fellows of the saint. Each of these spaces is representative of a type of burial, whether or not it conforms to local Islamic prescriptions, and which is associated with a particular type of dead. This article shows that the different material treatments of the grave here below mirror a different destiny of the dead in the afterlife, but also that these divergent trajectories do not prevent the weaving of links between the tombs for the benefit of the saint.
