In the old cemetery there is a Lithuanian granite stone monument to the resistance fighters. The names and surnames of 56 dead people are engraved on it. A wooden cross (broken) and a chapel were built.
The cemetery is a place of eternal rest for the inhabitants of Onuska and the surrounding villages. On the left side - the monument to those who died for the freedom of Lithuania, built in 1928. for the decade of independence. Old metal and wooden crosses have survived. Three booksellers Mečislovas Stankevičius, Antanas Didikas, Stasys Banuškevičius were buried. Their graves are decorated with wooden roof pillars with Gediminas pillars and the inscription "Knygnešys".
There is an altar in the cemetery. An altar made of stones by students and teacher Adams Morkūnas for the rites of honoring the dead. To the east of the cemetery near the Samnykai road, the Sukilėi pine grew. It is said that after the suppression of the 1863 uprising, the rebels were hanged on large pine branches. Until the 20th century a seventh-century pine contained a crucifix with a canopy. The pine was broken by the wind.
