About this cemetery
Akamella is a burial ground beside the Muonio river in Pajala municipality, Norrbotten. It was used between 1663 and 1817 by people living within about ten Swedish miles of Muonio, and the number buried is unknown. About fifteen pits from older graves survive, along with an old memorial stone and a gravestone. It is protected as an ancient monument, and in 2026 further remains were returned there in a ceremony led by the bishop.
