The article discusses the breakdown of Polish cemetery culture based on the literature of the last quarter century. The cause of the “breakdown” is a model of narcissistic cemetery formed after World War II; it mainly includes the dead worthy of commemoration, or the Poles who died acceptable death, and it excludes the ethnic strangers and unworthy form of death. However, the actions taken after 1989 for the sanctification of the dead Jews proved that death with dignity may also exist outside the narcissistic cemetery. In response, the Polish funerary community creates hysterical cemetery. In this cemetery, the society incorporates odious aspects of death into the mourning culture. The “abominable” content gives the basis for the establishment of the impure cemetery, which may include the death of the excluded, but is extended to the entire living space.
