About this cemetery

Østre gravlund was inaugurated in 1895 after the municipality bought the Helsfyr farm in 1892, and it was laid out on the farm's fields. It was enlarged several times, especially in the 1920s and 1930s. The grounds are known for a distinctive avenue of columnar aspens. A Jewish section, the Helsfyr cemetery of the Mosaic religious community, is attached and holds a memorial to Norwegian Jews killed in the Second World War.
