This paper examines the semiotic landscape of cemeteries, focusing on the Necropolis in Urnový háj, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. Slovakia can be characterised as a Central European cultural space shaped by intertwined Catholic, secular, and post-socialist traditions, where commemorative practices mirror the coexistence of collective memory, religious symbolism, and modern consumer culture. This paper explores the intersection of memorial spaces and commercialisation, questioning the balance between public commemoration and private marketing. Using ethnographic linguistic landscape analysis (ELLA), the study highlights how language, symbols, and architecture form a semiotic network influenced by sociocultural and economic factors. Findings show that cemeteries function as collective cultural texts, reflecting societal values and historical narratives. The Necropolis, with its promotional elements, disrupts its solemnity, eliciting mixed public reactions. The study also underscores how commercialisation and urbanisation reshape cemetery perception. The fading symbolic meaning of gravestones further complicates public engagement with memorial spaces.
