The Janowski Cemetery in Lviv was formally established in 1888. It referred to three other cemeteries in Lviv - Gródecki, Stryjego and Żółkiewski - closed by the Austrian authorities in the second half of the 19th century. It was the second largest burial place in the city, next to the Lychakiv Cemetery, which had been in use since 1786 in the north-west of Lviv. The Janowski Cemetery is a place where the lower classes have buried their dead for over a hundred years. There are also graves of Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic clergy on its premises. No graves of Armenian Catholic clergy could be identified. Particularly noteworthy are the graves of priests who spent many years in the Soviet gulag and then returned to Lviv to continue their apostolic mission. In the cemetery there are a number of graves of Jesuits and women's orders, represented by the Carmelites, Felician Sisters and Daughters of Charity.
