The chapel building was designed by Lars Bäckvall and completed in 1908.[1] It is heritage listed by the Swedish National Heritage Board.[2]
The cemetery is one of the oldest woodland cemeteries in Sweden. It was inaugurated in 1908,[3] and the proposal for the new cemetery was developed by horticulturist O.F. Holmsten. The inauguration was officiated by Bishop J.A. Eklund. However, the first burial did not take place until 1911.
