The article discusses the assembly of death lore including funeral rites, `rituals of sorrow`, their textual representations and other media artifacts (for example, digital gravestones, memorials, books of condolence, emotical grave candles and other) appearing as a new folklore currently created in cyberenvironments. The practices, artifacts and texts are appearing in a following site-genres: different kinds of virtual human, pet and emotion cemeteries, cybergenealogical sites in their communal and individual embodiment, social portals and environments created by „angel`s moms”, or bereaved mothers. Their `rituals of sorrow` can be account as a proposal of innovative cultural practice of grief.
