General site condition
The Jewish cemetery has its own entrance on Szedresi Road, but there is a hole in the wire fence on the eastern side, so it can also be accessed from the village cemetery too. It has a brick fence from the street, a wooden fence from one neighbor, a mixed material fence from the other neighbor, and a wire fence from the cemetery. The cemetery also has a well-maintained beit-tahara, with hearses and memorial items. One grave has graffiti depicting a human figure. Some graves are fallen over and broken, but the majority are standing. There is an empty grave for the victims of the Holocaust, but it is not a memorial.
