The analysis of evolution of the attitude to death in different cultures is given in the article. The attitude to death is examined as an element of the general picture of the world, alongside with other such element as the childhood, the attitude to which also historically varied. We examine the interrelation and interconditionality between these phenomena. We also make an attempt to analyze children's subculture as the mechanism allowing to generate own attitude to death and the protective mechanisms produced by culture and subculture, making death humane in a modern society
