The Hartola Cemetery is located in the center of the village, in close proximity to the church. It was moved from its original location near the old church to its current site around 1776. The cemetery also contains an old mortuary painted with red ochre, which dates from the same period. Since then, the cemetery has been expanded several times, most recently after the wars in the late 1940s.

The cemetery features a memorial to Evert Porila, a hero of the Finnish War of Independence, which was unveiled on October 24, 1920. In 1927, the author Maila Talvio arranged for the installation of the Cross of Forgotten Graves at the cemetery. The funds for the cross were raised from the proceeds of Talvio's book Jumalan puistot, and it was designed by Ilmari Wirkkala, the father of Tapio Wirkkala. The cross stands in the old row grave area, where people who died from diseases such as scarlet fever and plague are buried.

In the hero grave area, there is a statue by Heikki Konttinen featuring a standing soldier, unveiled in 1955. A memorial for the fallen soldiers who remained in Karelia was created by Veikko Leppänen in 1956. The cemetery also has a statue by V. Höykinpuro, titled Kneeling Girl, from 1967.

Additionally, the cemetery features a memorial grove and a monument for those buried elsewhere. The memorial grove is located along the path that begins from the parking lot on Kirkkotie 2. Ashes are anonymously placed there during the thaw period. The monument for those buried elsewhere is located along the path that begins to the right of the main entrance of the church.
