Summary/Abstract: Creating and expanding municipal cemeteries is conditioned by the performance of a spatial arrangement-related task that involves the passing of a local zoning plan. The legislator has assumed that cemeteries are established and expanded on areas specified in local zoning plans. Therefore, this study analyses legal measures that lay down requirements for establishing and expanding municipal and religious cemeteries. I point to regulations of those stages of the planning procedure which ensure participation of collaborating bodies and of members of a local community. This analysis intends to determine how far the requirement to adopt a local zoning plan restricts the creation and expansion of cemeteries. It is also intended to inspire a discussion on whether the need to carry out a multi-stage resolution-passing procedure gives a guarantee of a price of the intended project from different perspectives and taking into account the interests of members of a given community.
