This paper intends to discuss the general alignments of major theoretical approaches when it comes to archaeological studies about cemeteries and funerary practices. I seek to bring examples of executed researches in different mortuary contexts and analyze how contrasting academic orientations allow us to answer distinct questions. Through discussions made mainly in the Brazilian and North American scenario I aim to assemble general boundaries which point to a common way of some theories, although it will not show all the variability of these various approaches. Perspectivas teóricas para a Arqueologia Cemiterial: um breve panorama O presente artigo discute os alinhamentos gerais das principais abordagens teóricas em relação a pesquisas sobre cemitérios e práticas funerárias, sob a ótica da arqueologia. Pretendo ainda trazer exemplos de trabalhos realizados em contextos cemiteriais e analisar como as diferentes orientações teóricas permitem responder perguntas diversas. Através de discussões realizadas principalmente no cenário brasileiro e norte americano, busquei compilar linhas gerais que apontam para um caminho comum de alguns vieses teóricos, embora não mostre toda variabilidade de cada uma dessas abordagens contrastantes
