Ochovo cemetery

The cemetery was probably established in the 2nd half of the 18th century as a church cemetery. After 1867, an Orthodox church was built and the cemetery's religious affiliation was changed to Orthodox. The necropolis is located on the southern edge of the village, its area covers approximately 1.1 ha. The cemetery is currently active, with two Catholic burials from the 19th century preserved. On the western side of the alley, next to the church, there is a grave of Józefa Onichimowska, née Mikulska Onichimowska, dating from 1857, in the form of a cast-iron pedestal, once crowned with a richly ornamented openwork cross. Today only the base of the cross with figural and floral ornamentation remains. On the southern side of the church lie two large stone tombstones of the Twardowski family - one of Piotr (d. 1861) and Jozef Twardowski and the other, of Maria Twardowska. Apart from the names, the inscriptions preserved on them are illegible.

Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
