About this cemetery
Lagård Cemetery in Stavanger was consecrated in 1834 and is one of the oldest cemeteries in the city. When it opened, the earlier Stavanger churchyard was closed. The ground was bought in 1832 amid fears of a cholera epidemic. It is split in two by Kirkegårdsveien and lies next to Stavanger station and the railway. The northern part was laid out first, and it was extended southwards in 1868. It covers about 45,000 square metres and has a chapel with 155 seats. It was formerly for parishioners of St. John and St. Petri Varden, and is no longer linked to a religious community. Call +47 51 84 04 00 to speak to the cemetery, or look at gravplass.no for more.
