US Commission No. SLCE000123

Kokava nad Rimavicou is located N of Lucenec. The isolated suburban hillside cemetery has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all with no wall or gate. 1-20 marble, 19th-20th century flat shaped tombstones with Hebrew inscriptions are in original locations. The property is used for waste dump or abandoned [?]. Adjacent properties are residential. Private visitors visit occasionally. 1 broken stone was patched but no other maintenance. There is no care to the cemetery now. Pollution and vegetation are moderate threats; vandalism is a very serious threat.
