1 The church cemetery is located next to the Church of the Transfiguration. Only a few tombstones have survived in the cemetery. The oldest of these is the grave of Father Franciszek Pluszczewski from 1892, which is located in the western corner of the cemetery. It is in the form of a granite vertical slab ending in a triangular shape. On the slab are symbols of the priesthood, an inscription (/ Ś. P. KS. FRANCISZEK. PLUSZCZEWSKI/DIED. 1 FEBRUARY. 1892/ PRESIDENT/ OF 68/) and a space for a photograph, no longer preserved.
The 2nd active Catholic (formerly parish) cemetery, established in the 1st half of the 19th century, is located on the north-eastern edge of the village. The rectangular-plan cemetery, located on a flat terrain, covers an area of 0.7 ha and is fenced with a wooden fence. It is dominated by gravestones from the 1st half of the 20th century. The oldest preserved tombstone is a sloping granite slab in the south-western part of the cemetery, belonging to Józefa Sobolewska. The following inscription has been preserved on the grave: /YOU SPOCZYWA/ Ś. P./ JÓZEFA/ SOBOLEWSKA/ ZM. 8 JANUARY 1872/ AT THE AGE OF 64/. In the eastern part there is a separate, unfenced cemetery dedicated to Polish soldiers who fought in the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1920. It contains 53 graves, arranged in rows and a path runs between them. At its end is a commemorative metal cross.
Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
