Part of roads and the path from the village center to the church is made of 80 gravestones. Water drainage at the cemetery is good all year round. The oldest known gravestone on the cemetery dated from 19th century, now absent. The cemetery contains no mass graves. The municipality owns property on which are a kindergarten and residences. A residential area borders the cemetery. The cemetery boundaries are smaller than in 1939 because of the housing development. Rarely, local citizens visit.
