The Catholic cemetery in Sambor is one of the best preserved cemeteries in the former Eastern Lesser Poland and the number of gravestones there is very extensive. It is still active. Behind the old part, with inscriptions predominantly in Polish, stretches the new extensive municipal cemetery.

This necropolis was probably established around the middle of the 19th century, as can be deduced from the dates on the surviving gravestones. The previous ones had been plundered. The former spatial layout, with the main avenue and the side avenues that diverge from it, has survived almost completely.

According to Hauser, there are many interesting, monumental monuments such as the volute-decorated tomb of the Bernardine Fathers or the tombs of the Zadurowicz, Filas and Gorczyc families.

At the intersection of the main avenue and the first right side avenue, there is an impressive tomb of the Swiechlow family, crowned with a high obelisk. Behind it, one of the most beautiful tombstones according to Hauser can be seen - a cast-iron monument on the grave of Teresa Pohlmanowa, née Tomanka (died 1873), and Bronisław (died 1906) and Mary (died 1909) Bukietyński, with neo-Gothic decoration (turrets, sharp arches, tracery, spiral columns). The whole is crowned by a tall cast-iron crucifix.

According to the 'Geographical Dictionary', there was a chapel of the Spausta foundation in the cemetery in about 1880. However, Hauser doubts that this is the same building that he saw when preparing the documentation of the cemetery. The appearance of the present chapel points to the early 20th century or even later years. It is a magnificent, frosted temple, covered by a polygonal dome and a red tent roof.

Along the side alley leading to the chapel are the most respectable gravestones in the cemetery. These are: a sepulchre with a high extension topped with a monument with a cross on the grave of Stefania Olszańska (d. 1912) buried there; the sepulchre of Klementyna and Stanisław Bladee, decorated with openwork 'chapels' and an extension or a rock with a similar inscription wreath and a knotted cross entwined with a garland of roses, on the grave of Wojciech Corvus Chrząszczewski (d. 1915), a railway doctor.

Hauser lists many more gravestones such as one of the most magnificent, topped by a large obelisk of black marble. Resting there is Jan Głąbiński (d. 1900), whose services to his homeland, the Church and his family are described in an extensive inscription. Others are, for example, the magnificent tomb of the Jedliński family (Rev. Jan Jedliński, d. 187[...], parish priest of Samborski, canon of Przemyśl and professor), crowned with a polychrome figure of Christ with a lamb; a gravestone with a Ukrainian inscription, crowned with a figure of a weeping angel, on the grave of Nestor Rudnyćki (d. 1908); a gravestone in the shape of a large gnarled tree trunk on the grave of Jozefa Khoroshchakovskaya (d. 1910) and Włodzimierz (d. 1894) Choroszczakowski; an obelisk in white marble on the grave of Antonina Łucka née Terlecka (d. 1907); pink stone rocks (topped with a cross) signed by Langer of Sambor on the grave of the Hradl family or the tomb of the Rozłakowski family, with an ornamental extension decorated with garlands and volutes and a vase.

Documentation has been prepared for the cemetery (190 cards stored in the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage). Information about the cemetery published (see bibliography).
