The aim of the article is to investigate a reason why the traditional burial of dead people to coffins is more common in Poland than cremation bodies to urns. It has an influence for savings, mainly in use of the cemetery land, because space in the Polish cemeteries is decreasing due to a large number of the traditional burials. Therefore, the research analysis was formulated that namely changes in the area have been observed during the last twenty years of the 21st century and the forecasts indicate that it will be changing by moving away from the traditional burial in favour for the urn burial. To prove such formulated the research hypothesis a number of legal-organizational, religious, cultural and etc. conditions must be considered and examined.

Abstract

The aim of the article is to investigate a reason why the traditional burial of dead people to coffins is more common in Poland than cremation bodies to urns. It has an influence for savings, mainly in use of the cemetery land, because space in the Polish cemeteries is decreasing due to a large number of the traditional burials. Therefore, the research analysis was formulated that namely changes in the area have been observed during the last twenty years of the 21st century and the forecasts indicate that it will be changing by moving away from the traditional burial in favour for the urn burial. To prove such formulated the research hypothesis a number of legal-organizational, religious, cultural and etc. conditions must be considered and examined. It has been tried to highlight all the conditions in the article.
