Abstract

The subject of the author’s analyses are the national laws regulating funeral services. Since the topic is one of wide scope, the author could not cover it entirely, so the paper only includes the advantages and weaknesses of the regulations which govern a few, according to the author, most significant issues in this field. In the first two parts of the paper, the author discusses the burial concept and principles. The third part analyses the method the legislator uses to regulate the issue of the subjects which are responsible for the organization of the funerals, while the fourth part describes potential burial places. In this context, the author pays special attention to cemeteries and gravesites. In the concluding remarks, based on the previously conducted analyses, the author of the paper presents her evaluation of the laws regulating the burial of the dead, underlining those which need to be amended in future.
