Cemetery in Kulikowo

Located in the northern part of the town, the Catholic cemetery was probably established in the second half of the 19th century, judging from the dates on the surviving gravestones.
It contains only tombstones with Ukrainian inscriptions, with a few Polish exceptions. The cemetery is active, carefully maintained and planted with thuyas and young junipers. It lacks alleys and a clear spatial division.

Among the Polish graves, Hauser draws attention to the rocks topped with a knotty trunk on the grave of Stanisław Malik (d. 1896) or the "decorative, hand-forged cast-iron cross and artistically made cast-iron fence on the grave of Elżbieta and Paulina Święcicki".
Hauser refers to the 'Geographical Dictionary', which states that a brick chapel was erected in the cemetery in 1873, where masses were sometimes celebrated.
