Summary/Abstract: The work was created based on field research in which we found that tombstones are destroyed in various ways, mainly by human hands. In some cases, the tombstones were moved and buried by natural processes or endangered and disappeared due to bad weather. The results of the research showed that almost all necropolises with tombstones were more or less devastated. In this paper we are talking only about the necropolises that are most devastated, such as the necropolises submerged by Lake Jablanica, the necropolises in the settlement of Doljani, in the area of Blidinje and in the settlements of Šabančići and Zlate. This is also an attempt to draw the attention of the competent authorities, primarily the municipal authorities, to stop and prevent the devastation of the tombstones, as well as a recommendation to the residents to take a positive attitude towards this cultural and historical heritage
