| EKSHÄRAD Ekshärad Cemetery is well known for its graceful and imaginative iron crosses. They were forged locally and got their leaves in 1770. There are more than 300. GOTHENBURG The Eastern cemetery in Gothenburg was designed by architect J. H. Strömberg and was inaugurated on November 16, 1860. Special attention must be paid to the hill on the west side, with its magnificent mausoleums, most of which commemorate late Gothenburg citizens in the merchant, manufacturing and shipping trades. |

MALMÖ The Eastern cemetery in Malmö is a beautifully planned architectural environment. Both landscape and buildings were designed by architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975). JÖNKÖPING The first mention of the Jönköping cemetery dates back to 1636. The graveyard provides a good deal of historical information thanks to its late XIX century wonderful old gravestones and cast iron railings. The landscape is punctuated by avenues lined with elm and lime trees. The cemetery also features some renowned rockeries. |
