Cemetery in Juraciszki

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Lewkowski and Walczak, "the Catholic cemetery is located in the centre of the village on the western side of the road. It is located on a flat terrain, surrounded by buildings and has no fence. The cemetery is completely devastated, with dozens of fallen tombstones, unreadable or with inscriptions facing the ground. One fragment of a granite slab with the inscription has survived: "Józef Walko um. 24 March 1892 / lived 78 years". The preserved traces of burials show that the cemetery covered an area of about 0.30 ha and was established on a rectangular plan."
