About this cemetery
Vaasa Old Cemetery was founded on 28 August 1864. It was originally called Almanniemi Cemetery, after the first person buried there, and belongs to the town rebuilt on its present site after the fire of 1852. Further burial areas have been added as needed, and the old and new cemeteries together hold more than 50,000 dead. A heroes' cemetery lies within the old cemetery.
