The last known Sefardic, Orthodox, or Neolog Jews Jewish burial was 1949. The flat isolated surburban site has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all via a broken masonry wall and unlocked gate. Pre- and post-WWII size of cemetery is 0.14 hectares. 100-500 gravestones, 1-20 not in original location with less than 25% toppled or broken, date from 1880-20th century. The marble, limestone and sandstone finely smoothed and inscribed stones or multi-stone monuments have Hebrew and Hungarian inscriptions. Some have traces of painting on their surfaces. There is a pre-burial house but no known mass graves. The national Jewish community owns the cemetery. Adjacent properties are agricultural and residential. Boundaries are unchanged since 1939.
