After Mirza Hasan was buried there, the cemetery was named after him. The family cemetery of the Azerbaijani branch of the Qajar dynasty is also located inside the cemetery. Members of the dynasty, along with members of the famous families of Shusha, were buried in the cemetery, as well as common people.
