There were 1,322 individuals who were decorated with the Order of the People's hero of Yugoslavia between 1942 and 1973. Many busts and memorials were built in honor of each People's hero. Each of them usually had a bust in his birthplace or at the place of his death. Most of these monuments are built in figurative style, but some of them were completely abstract, e.g. monument of Ivo Lola Ribar, built at the Glamoč field in 1962.

One of the largest concentrations of People's heroes' busts is in the Park of People's heroes in Banja Luka, which contains 21 busts.
