Cleaning work at the Catholic cemetery in Tajkury and Sheptetka

Information about cemeteries:
The cemetery was established in the 1st half of the 19th century. Approximately 60 historical tombstones and a mass grave of victims from 1943 have been preserved in the cemetery. The preserved monuments are made not only of sandstone, but also of granite and marble. The cemetery was overgrown with dense vegetation before the works were carried out; part of the area is used as pasture by local people.

Prior to 2019, documentation (1 cemetery card and 16 gravestone cards) stored at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage was made for the cemetery.

The cemetery in Szepetka was established in the 19th century in the centre of the town. In 2012, it was subject to the "Save a Grave of Praděd from Oblivion" campaign, as part of which it is being cleaned up by volunteers. It is fenced in by the efforts of the Shepetov branch of the Union of Poles in Ukraine. (location: 50.157932869910454, 27.05237086999174)

Completed works:
The first stage of the cleaning work took place on 26-29.09.2019 and during this time the cemetery in Tajkury was cleaned, and the second stage, during which the cemetery in Shepetovka was cleaned, lasted on 11-13.10.2019
