Cemetery in Skrundziach

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the active rural Catholic cemetery has hard to establish boundaries. The burial range is defined by a 0.5 ha area. It was created in the second half of the 19th century. Several gravestones remain from that century. The oldest, from 1892, commemorates Hilary Cierakowicz. The inscription reads: "HILARY CIERAKOWICZ / LIVED 75 L. - 15 OCTOBER. 1892 R. / MEMORY OF SON SIMON". Quoting the aforementioned authors, "the cemetery is dominated by styleless gravestones from the 1st half of the 20th century and contemporary ones. (...) Among the Catholic graves we meet modern Orthodox graves."
