The cemetery has 4,000 graves. Most of the graves belong to Dutch civilian war victims and prisoners of war from Japanese-run internment camps who were killed by their captors during the fall of Japan in 1945. At the highest point of the cemetery stands a flag pole with at its base the place names where most people were killed. Lt. Gen. Berenschot, who died in an aircraft crash before the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies, is also buried here.

There are two monuments on the cemetery, one for all the unidentified civilian war victims and one for all the unknown soldiers who are buried there.
