Nowadays, death has become a taboo. People usually die in sterile conditions of hospitals or hospices. Death is commonly not accepted, it is treated as a phenomenon so improper that it had better not even be discussed. People who lose their closest ones can rely on support from people around them less and less, due to loosening of social bonds and the individual anonymity in big cities. As a result, mourning is being experienced in isolation or, at best, within the few members of the closest family, which hinders the process of overcoming the pain and accepting the loss. The purpose of this article is to bring attention not only to the problems of those who have lost their family members, but also to the mediatization of death from the social point of view and its ethical aspect. Paradoxically, the more of a taboo death is considered in day-to-day life, the more reverse a process can be observed in media. Displaying the mourning within the Internet is a relatively new phenomenon and expresses the need to go back to experiencing death collectively. The presentation of death in the Internet frequently is aimed at shocking, interesting or to some extent entertaining the audience. There is a positive side to presenting death in media, too, which enables the switch from old rituals to new ones, getting acquainted with the occurrence of death, sympathizing with the mourners or the deceased, and showing support.
