About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Upper Sanciai Military Cemetery is located in the lesser-traveled Sanciai district in the southeastern part of Kaunas. It measures 340 meters from north to south, 220 meters from east to west, and 7.5 hectares (18 acres) in land area. The terrain is flat with moderate to heavy tree coverage. The front gate is along the western fence facing Asmenos 1-oji gatve. Russian soldiers were first buried here in 1891, Lithuanian soldiers in 1922, and German soldiers in 1941. The interspersed patchwork of burial places for the 3 national groups mirrors the complex history of Kaunas itself. This particular cemetery in the Findagrave system is reserved for soldiers in the Russian portions of the overall cemetery.
