The report "Jewish Historic Monuments and Sites in Bulgaria" published by The United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad in 2011 states:

"Since 1600, a Jewish community has been present in Burgas. Today, the community consists of just over 100 people. Located on the road leading from the “Sunny” beach resort, the Jewish cemetery of Burgas is part of the municipal cemetery, established at the end of the 19th century. It is still in use. Many of the gravestones were lost when an earlier cemetery was destroyed and burial at the new location was established. The present site is small at only 0.2 hectares in area. It contains approximately 30 gravestones dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Within the large municipal cemetery complex, the boundaries of the Jewish section are unmarked. 20 Although the cemetery is maintained by a caretaker, water drainage is a constant problem at the site. In the immediately surrounding cemetery sections, Bulgarians of Armenian and Turkish heritage are buried."
