About this cemetery
The Great Cemetery of Kuopio, also known as the Old Cemetery, was founded in 1867 in the Puijo district and has been expanded several times in the 20th century. It covers about 15 hectares and lies within Kuopio Cathedral Parish. The cemetery and the adjoining Heroes' Park are regarded as nationally significant examples of cemetery culture, and new urn burial areas were opened in 2013.
