Residents of the Akuevi manor are buried in the cemetery. A chapel stood in the corner of the cemetery, which has not survived to this day.

It was a part of the Šventežeris manor, established between the Seirijas and Miroslav manors. The Guttas became the owners of the sub-district in the 19th century. They are also mentioned as 1863. supporters of the uprising (it is said that during the uprising they hid weapons in the basement-tomb in the cemetery). The cast-iron slab tombstone for landowners was built in 1894. in 1970 the gravestone was torn off, the basement was torn out, the remains were removed from the graves, and later reburied there. Anelė Lasavičienė (age 75), a resident of the village of Akučiai, in 2011. told that a large cross formerly stood on the monument, beautifully ornamented from bottom to top like a round ornament. There was no statue here, but there was a stone with a hollow where rainwater collected. Around 1946 in that water he used to sanctify the verb, and he used to pray at the cross.
