The cemetery of the Vorkutlag infirmary was located in Yuzhny (southern) settlement. Prisoners who died in the hospital, and at the camp outposts of mineshafts Nos 9, 10 and 11, were buried here. So were prisoners who worked at the Vorkutlag Teplichnoe farm. They were buried both in individual and common graves.
Repentance: the Komi Republic Martyrology of the Victims of Mass Political Repression (11 vols. 1998-2016), includes biographical entries on 52,785 who were sent to the camps in Komi, of whom 11,522 died there.
Drawing on that source, the Memorial online database (2025) lists 5,335 prisoners who arrived at the Vorkutlag branch of Ukhtpechlag between 1936 and 1939 and 516 who died there. The region’s Book of Remembrance does not specify where they died or were buried. (And see The Gulag in Northwest Russia, 1931-1960.)
