The cemetery is fenced off with a metal fence, the inscriptions on the stones and monuments are directed to the NE. The eastern part of the cemetery located closer to the street is open, there are no gravestones in this part, with the exception of 3 half-broken matzevot in the middle of this open space, clearly transferred here from another place.
In the center of the cemetery there are modern monuments of the XX-XXI centuries, old stones are located in the western part, they go in almost regular rows. There are about 8 rows in total. The cemetery is well-groomed, the bushes are hewn, the rubbish is removed. The preservation of the inscriptions on the matzevot is good and satisfactory. At the same time, the western part is also little overgrown with forest: there are only old tall pines, due to which the stones are slowly covered with a layer of fallen leaves. The northern part of the fenced-in area is overgrown with young birch forests, in which only a few gravestones were found. Fallen inscription down matzevot are very few.
