Uppsala cemeteries

We manage the city cemeteries and funeral services for Uppsala city, regardless of membership or beliefs.

The Church of Sweden is the principal for funeral services throughout the country, except in the city of Stockholm and Tranås where the municipality is the principal.

Uppsala Cemeteries is responsible for providing Burial site, burial, cremation and venue for the funeral ceremony. This is paid for through the burial fee that everyone pays regardless of whether you are a member of the Church of Sweden or not. If the deceased was a member of the Church of Sweden, the church's other services are also free.

Look for a pink mark on the grave's care tag

Many of the graves in the Old Cemetery have an associated care tag.

If the marker has one pink mark, it means that one or more buried persons at that cemetery are included on this page. If the marker has two pink marks, it is also part of a digital walk.

Here you can find out more about what the numbers and color markings mean.
