The cemetery was established on the plan similar to a rectangle and fenced wooden fence. In the north-eastern fence line there are two double-wing gates, crowned with a triangular frame with a cross. One is the entrance to the cemetery, the other is a dummy complementing the composition of the fence. The main element of the cemetery a wooden cross. Around the intersection arms are placed beams, forming a square and a circle inscribed into it. In the cemetery there are graves with tombstones in the form of: - cast iron, openwork crosses Lorraine, mounted on concrete pedestals, - cast iron, openwork Latin crosses mounted on concrete pedestals, - cast-iron Maltese crosses with a laurel wreath motive, embedded in tapering basins, - small iron crosses Lorraine mounted on tapering pedestals.
