Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe the phenomenon of pet cemeteries on an example of the Pet Cemetery in Rzędziany, Podlaskie Voivodeship. The material, which was used for the analysis was obtained by ethnographic field studies carried out in the municipality of Tykocin. The article focuses on the aesthetic patterns, as well as on social reception of the cemetery. The design of the graveyard shows the patterns of commemoration of the dead pets and the strength of human-animal bond. As indicated by the research, the idea of the cemetery is rather extraneous for the community members, but the place is slowly taking root in the local cultural landscape.
