The name of the cemetery is Cemitério da Boa Esperança (Cemetery of Good Hope). The area of the cemetery is sectioned off with a low stone wall and attached chain on three sides. It has room for about 20 graves.

Behind this area is a wall with niches for an ossuary. This wall is in two sections separated by a metal shield with the coat of arms with the Faro Community coat of arms. Behind the arms are two crossed fire axes.

In front of the area is a stone inscribed as follows...
RESERVADO

VIDA POR VIDA

C.M.F.          1945
The English translation is...
RESERVED
FOR
FIRE FIGHTERS
LIFE FOR LIFE

C.M.F.          1945
