Strandkyrkogården, also know as the Shore Cemetery, was inaugurated in 1996. It is located six miles south-east of the Stockholm city centre, next to the lake Drevviken.
About the cemetery
Planning for Strandkyrkogården began in the first years of the 1980s and the facility was inaugurated on 20 September 1996. No chapel buildings were erected because Strandkyrkogården was considered complementary to Skogskyrkogården in Gamla Enskede.
The cemetery covers 25 hectares of land that alternates between open parkland and closed forest areas with the burial sites. In total, there is room for around 20.000 graves. The entrance is located by Gudöbroleden and is decorated with granite blocks from Göinge. Next to the cemetery 's memorial grove , there is a viewpoint with a view of lake Drevviken.
