Summary/Abstract: The authors of the article analyze the issue of personal data of deceased persons. For many decades, obituaries have been functioning in the public sphere, which are clearly understood as information, a notification about the death of a specific person. And the so-called hourglasses, which extend the information from the obituary with the date of the farewell ceremony and burial, specifying the place and exact time. Currently, obituaries and hourglasses have become a permanent part of social media (e.g. via Facebook), through which information about death is transmitted. There is also a Book of the Dead on the Internet, where you can find a burial place. The authors analyze the legal provisions regulating the above-mentioned issues.
