In the cemetery there are slabs with inscriptions and above them three iron crosses. The entire content of the inscription has been preserved: / WACŁAW DOMEYKO/DIED. DN. 26.

2 The active Catholic cemetery, established in the 1st quarter of the 20th century, is located outside the village, at the edge of the forest. The rectangular-plan cemetery, situated on flat ground, covers an area of 1.1 hectares and is enclosed by a fence of concrete posts joined by metal pipes, with an entrance gate to the north. An irregular path runs through the cemetery. In the north-eastern part of the establishment there is a World War I cemetery. It is located on a rectangular plan and includes four rows of graves (147 graves, but it is not known how many people rest in the graves as they have no inscriptions). The oldest gravestone, located behind the military quarter - the gravestone of Karol Borowik from 1922 - has the form of a small vertical slab ending in a slant and topped with an iron cross. The following inscription has been preserved on the grave: / KAROL/ BOROWIK/ ZM. 19 JANUARY 1922/ AGED 54/.

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