The cemetery is located in Karviná in the district of Doły (also referred to as Mines), which is now almost completely deserted as a result of mining damage. It was located near the colonies of Karviná Mexico and Karviná New York. It is situated on a flat terrain. The layout of the alleys is regular. The tombstones are situated parallel to the alleys, in the middle of the plots the layout of the monuments has been partially obliterated. A chapel of neo-Gothic forms is located in the central axis of the cemetery. A comparison of the state of the cemetery with aerial photographs taken in the 1960s shows that almost all the gravestones have been preserved, but mostly in the form of destructs or are heavily damaged objects. In the course of the documentation work it was possible to find more than 500 burial sites, of which just over one-fifth have preserved inscriptions. Most of them are in Polish and Czech, with a few in German. Monuments to miners who died in mining accidents in 1917 ( Wiktor Szurman and Karol Suchanek ) and in 1924 ( Adolf Badura, Karol Dziadek and Henryk Tyrlik ) and to Paweł Milereski , the victim of an accident in 1912, have been preserved in the cemetery. Almost all monuments are preceded by slabs or bands. The vertical elements are mainly steles less often crosses on pedestals and single aedicules. Most monuments with modernised forms. On single surviving photographs on porcelain. They are mostly made of concrete / reinforced concrete or terrazzo. Vertical elements are also made of sandstone, Silesian marble (usually plaques or individual details like those of Anna and Adolf Lange or the Witoszek family are all marble) and granite.
