The cemetery church belonged to the Pokrovsky Cathedral. Before Melenki became a town, there were two cemeteries: one located near the Pokrovskaya Church, and the other, to the south, across the Melenka River. Both cemeteries were liquidated, and houses were partially built in their place. A plot for a new cemetery was allocated outside the town.

In 1797, according to archival documents from the Murom Spiritual Administration, permission was granted to build a separate church at the new cemetery in Melenki. However, there is no information on whether it was constructed. In 1830, a wooden church was relocated here, which became surplus after the stone cathedral was built. This church had one altar in the name of All Saints. The church did not have its own utensils or sacristy, and everything necessary for services was brought from the cathedral.

In 1868, a small almshouse was established next to the church with funds from merchant Volkov from Melenki, where the poor, elderly, and orphans found shelter, regardless of class or gender.

During the Soviet era, cemetery burials were organized at the site of the All Saints Church. Only the bell tower of the church survived, which was used as a fire tower during the Soviet years.

On May 8, 2014, with the blessing of His Grace Nil, a memorial cross was installed and consecrated at the site of the former church and future construction.
