	The main purpose of this paper is to characterise contemporary communal cemeteries and to develop a typology of these facilities from the point of view of its location. The main criteria for the selection of cemeteries were the date of creation (1999–2019) and the communal status of objects. Literature studies in the fields of spatial planning, landscape architecture, geography, sociology and an analysis of legal acts including planning acts were the bases for developing evaluation criteria in the aspect of cemeteries location. The location of cemeteries in relation to: natural system, accessibility, functional and spatial structure of settlement units and religious facilities was characterized. The spatial extent of the research covered cemeteries within their boundaries along with the sanitary protection zone (150 m). Field studies were carried out in July and August 2019. The research showed that out of 63 cemeteries, most are established within the administrative boundaries of cities, but in their suburban, non-urbanized areas. Models of communal cemeteries were developed due to their location.
