Today a historic site is the cemetery, which was designated by the owner of Szczebrzeszyn - John Czarnkowski in 1593. Cemetery was destroyed by the Nazis during the war, but despite the destruction of many tombstones, most survived and is probably the greatest assemblage of tombstones in the Lublin region. The oldest boards on which you can still read the inscriptions are from the seventeenth century, the rest of the graves is from the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. On the tombstones are various reliefs and decorative motifs characterizing people buried in these graves, and describing their lives or functions that were performed during their lifetime. In the Jewish cemetery women and men are buried separately. Women were buried in the western part of the cemetery, and the men in the eastern part. In 1991, there was laid the cemetery monument dedicated to the memory of the Jews from Szczebrzeszyn and surrounding areas, who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. In the cemetery grows many historic trees, some of which are natural monuments.
