Werchnia Biłka (Верхня Білка)
Located in the courtyard of the parish church, the 'noble' cemetery in Biłka Szlachecka is the burial place of the Uruski family and possibly other families, but the inscriptions on the tombstones are illegible. Hauser mentions such tombstones as "Bolesław Uruski (d. 1823) and one of the Uruskis (d. 1846), topped with figures of a kneeling mother and child" or "an obelisk with an acroterion, topped with a figure of a kneeling angel on the grave of Jadwiga Niecielak (?) (d. 1840)". An epitaph of Christopher Avakovich (d. 1705) was additionally built into the church wall.
