As in Erbenheim, the Naurod cemetery is enclosed on three sides by a wall made of slate quarry stones and is located in the west above the village; the original cemetery wall was broken through on the western side to extend the burial areas. A stone plaque in the opposite section of the wall tells visitors that it was built in 1834. From the original projection of the site, the layout of the area inside has been preserved, which is divided into six fields from the main path.
After the Second World War, a modest field of honor with plaques and individual crosses for the fallen was added in the southwest corner. Two further memorials can also be found in this section. One was created to commemorate the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 - a simple sandstone obelisk, which was dedicated to the war veterans by the municipality of Naurod in 1874. The third consists of a large sandstone slab engraved with the names of the Naurod fallen of the First World War. Four expressive expressionist reliefs frame the slab and, thanks to the similarities with the memorial to the fallen in Hessloch, it was probably also erected around 1925.
Unlike the other abandoned and cleared predecessors at municipal cemeteries in the state capital, some older red sandstone gravestones have been moved here. The simple stelae for Eliese Klein (1826-1873) and the pedestal cross for Georg Kiepp (1795-1864) have been re-erected on the eastern wall, while the tall stele for the former mayor Friedrich Schneider (1823-1862) has found a new home to the north of the new mourning hall.
