In Skogskyrkogården’s Memorial Grove, the ashes of cremated individuals are interred (buried).
The Memorial Grove is situated on a separate hill to the right of the main entrance. In this area, visitors are permitted to walk only on designated paths.
Designed by architect Sigurd Lewerentz, the Memorial Grove was completed in 1961. Later, architects Göran Bergquist and Jan Wahlman added a pond with stones at the hill's summit. This area also features benches and spaces for flowers.
Parking is available on Gunnar Asplunds väg below the Memorial Grove. It is free of charge but limited to a maximum of 4 hours.
A remembrance garden is a place where the ashes of a cremated person are interred (buried) by staff without the presence of relatives. The concept is for the ashes to return to the earth and nature. Instead of individual graves, there is a communal area to leave flowers.
Skogskyrkogården has several areas designated for ash grave sites.
For those who prefer a specific site to visit, Skogskyrkogården offers communal areas with individual ash graves. In these graves, ashes are placed in a special bag, and a plaque bearing the deceased’s name is placed on or near the grave.
