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:
"The Jewish cemetery is part of a municipal cemetery. It was established at the end of the 18th century, and the last known Jewish burial at the site was in 2000. The cemetery is 150 square meters in size and contains about thirty gravestones. The stones are made of granite and marble. The inscriptions are in Bulgarian, Hebrew, and Ladino. A fence, with a gate that locks, surrounds the municipal cemetery. There is a regular caretaker at the site. Vegetation overgrowth and water drainage are constant problems."
