The Heßloch cemetery was established in 1825 to the north and outside of the village. This area was subsequently redesigned and extended several times, so that from a local history or artistic point of view, only the war memorial for the fallen of the First World War and the mourning hall are worth mentioning.

The war memorial from 1925, made of ashlars in the defiant style of those years, mourns the fallen on a sandstone plaque with the inscription: 'DEN OPFERN 1914-1918'. The epitaph plaque is framed on both sides by figure reliefs from the heyday of German Expressionism. The new mourning hall was added in 1950 and, in its extraordinary simplicity and balance, for example in the façade structured with five round arches, corresponds to the conservative pragmatism that prevailed in the architecture from the early days of the Federal Republic.

The following types of grave are possible at the Heßloch cemetery:

- Burial in the ground

- Burial plot for children

- Burial in a row

- Burial plot for children

- Urn ballot grave

- Urn ballot grave
