  Funerary Art  Jewish cemetery in Koprivnica, Croatia

According to ESJF, the Jewish cemetery of Koprivnica was established in 1842, about three kilometers from the town. The burial society was founded in 1888. In 2009, the cemetery was in relatively good condition, with around 250 existing tombstones, including five family mausoleums. The oldest inscriptions are in Hebrew, while later ones are in German and Croatian, with a few in Hungarian. The cemetery includes a monument to Jewish soldiers who died in World War I. In 1975, a Holocaust memorial was erected. A ceremonial hall on the site was recently reconstructed and now serves as a Holocaust memorial.

As of 2021, there were 330 headstones, approximately 50 of which were broken. The cemetery also contains five mausolea. It is enclosed by a 1.9-meter-high wire fence and a 2.5-meter-high stone wall.
