About this cemetery

Petrašiūnai Cemetery in Kaunas was founded around 1939 to 1940, and burials began in 1941. It was enlarged to the east and south in 1955 to 1961, when remains from the closed Central and Vilijampolė cemeteries were moved here. Since 1970 burials have taken place only in the pantheon and in family plots. It covers about 9 hectares and contains monuments by several Lithuanian sculptors.
