Józef Skoczyński appealed to the German settlement administration, Siedlunsverwaltung, for the allocation of land to establish a cemetery in Stalowa Wola.
The German authorities designated a plot for the cemetery outside the settlement in a sparse forest near the so-called Way of the Cross, precisely opposite the site where preparations had begun before the war for the construction of a large hospital serving the Central Industrial District.
Skoczyński attempted to persuade the Polish city authorities to transfer the cemetery to the parish, but he did not receive approval in the new political reality.
Thus, the cemetery remains municipal to this day.”[1] In the 1970s, a funeral home with a chapel was built on the site, which was renovated between 2005 and 2006.
The cemetery grounds also include a mausoleum for soldiers and partisans who died during World War II.
