The aim of the research. Among the total of the stored medallions, three of them are united by the same iconography. The article deals with the peculiarities of the images, their ideological load, and the influence of the religious cults on the development of the funeral culture. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of historicism, the systemicity, the scientism, the verification, the author’s objectivity, as well as on the use of the general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and the special-historical (historical-genetic, historical-typological, historical-systematic) methods. The scientific novelty consists in the following: for the first time, on the basis of the rare finds of the religious medallions from the burials of the XVIIIth century, the poorly studied aspects of the funeral culture as the manifestation of the religious tendencies in the social life of the eastern outskirts of Rich Pospolyta (Rzecz Pospolita (Polska) – in Polish)) during a new era have been analyzed. Conclusions. The manufacture of the religious medallions with the image of St. I. Nepomutskyi is associated with the spread of the saint’s cult in the XVIIth – XVIIIth centuries in the whole of Europe. The monastic orders: the Jesuits, the Dominicans and the Franciscans were in the active propaganda of the cult. The devotional things, dedicated to St. I. Nepomutskyi, have not yet been the subject of a separate study. Their presence in the burial places, the location and a small amount in the collections of the funeral equipment, indicates the connection of the buried persons with the fraternal communities of St. I. Nepomutskyi. The ideological content, embodied in the cult of this holy martyr, enriched the funeral culture of the Baroque era with the new spiritual trends.
