The cemetery in Turka nad Stryjem is located in the eastern part of the town, 2 kilometres from the parish church, on a wooded hill.

It was established around the middle of the 19th century, as can be deduced from the dates on the surviving gravestones. It is still active and kept in tolerable condition, although many of the gravestones have obliterated inscriptions. Its former spatial layout, with a main alley, partially survives.

In its centre is a historic wooden Lemko Orthodox church, with three domes covered with tin tent roofs. Ukrainian language inscriptions predominate.

According to Hauser, the most artistically valuable gravestone is the now unnamed monument, decorated with a sculpture of a woman (or Mother of God) towards whom a child is stretching out her hands. His attention is also drawn to the gravestone of the retired headmaster of the men's school Michał Grudziński (died 1936), crowned with a huge statue of Christ; the monument in the form of a neo-Gothic chapel on the grave of Stanisław Szczęsny Morawski (died 1885) or the gravestone of Franciszek Karol Sas Biliński, crowned with a cross decorated with engraved arabesques.
