Krestova Cemetery was established in 1922 by the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood to serve the Krestova settlement. From 1932 onward, it was used mainly by Sons of Freedom living in Krestova.
The cemetery is approximately twenty acres in size and is unenclosed. There is dense scrub, brush and trees throughout some portions of the cemetery.
The cemetery contains approximately 600 interments in two sections (1922-1983, 1984-present) comprised of multiple rows facing east-west.
Many of the graves (250) have no marker, however, many of the mounds are still clearly visible.
This is a very typical Doukhobor Cemetery as with graves with markers. Most are typically plain slate, marble or concrete upright headstones or flat markers set flush to the ground.
There are several handcrafted grave markers. The cemetery for the most part is quite overgrown and finding some of the graves was impossible. There appears to be a back section that is not maintained as the weeds and bushes were waist high.
As with most Doukhobor Cemeteries, there is a centennial plaque commemorating the Migration of the Doukhobors.
