Cemetery is on Hodoyenko Street, in Pinsk. There no longer are burials at this cemetery. (Town has opened a new cemetery just outside the town.) The cemetery is large, with a gate at the entrance on Hodoyenko Street. Inside the gate, there is a narrow roadway. As you enter, to the left of the road are gravestones and markers that appear to be Roman Catholic. Farther down on that side are some Jewish markers. On the right side (as you enter) the markers appear to be Eastern Orthodox. It is possible that there were Protestant burials; if so, they likely are on the left side (among the Catholic and Jewish burials). At the far end of the cemetery is a separate section of burials of German soldiers from World War I. There also is one German soldier from World War II, a lieutenant.

Parish Cemetry in Pinsk was established in 1796 and closed for new burials from 1981 (exceptions for reserved places with permission of civil authorities). The Сemetery is structured into several sectors: Catholic, Jewish, Orthodox&Lutheran, military (German, Polish, Russian).
