Text from the Canary Isla
Esta parcela del territorio insular destaca por albergar numerosos cementerios donde quedaron reflejadas las prácticas funerarias que ******socializaban**** la muerte individual y colectiva de esta comunidad. Eran lugares delimitados y concebidos para perdurar a lo largo del tiempo y en directa vinculación con los asentamientos donde tenía lugar la vida cotidiana.

I think you just have to find a word that fills the gap: "The funerary practices that accompanied individual and collective death". A more literal translation would sound odd in my opinion.

: Agree in principal re a word that fills the gap. Also, in line with a word that fills the gap, perhaps 'characterised'?

to institute (funerals) as a social rite
I'd avoid any notion of 'national' - here it seems to emphasise that it is a community celebration

In the sense of extending the notion so that it becomes conceptualized collectively by ... society as a whole. The term is used this way in sociology.

The net is full of transitive use. For example, some rescue dogs need to be "socialised"...

: As a long-term dog owner linking this context with socialising dogs feels odd and uncomfortable to me. Also I have experience of funerals & bereavement support & haven't heard word used in modern context.Can't comment re sociology & archaelogy though.

Shared?
Linguee uses "shared" as a translation in a couple of instances (just type in 'socializar'. Sorry not to know how to post the link via my Ipad. I wonder if shared might fit here? i.e. Something like: "numerous cemeteries which reflect the funeral practeices (or rites?) shared by the individual and collective deaths of this community". It would seem to fit with the idea that both individual and collective deaths are accorded the same treatment.

Here is one of the examples for which Linguee translates socializar as 'share':
"[...] 15-day break, during which they return to their communities to share their progress with the beneficiary families whom they represent, [...]"
It attracted my attention because of the word 'communities'which seems relevant to your context.
The other places that Linguee translates socializar as 'share' are:
"It will be followed by workshops with policy makers and planners to share the findings with them and explore the implications for public [...]"
and:
"Costa Rica's experience in this area teaches important lessons that can be shared with other countries as part of a debate which we could [...] unesdoc.unesco.org"
Again their context makes "shared" seem a potentially justifiable option for you.
