The cemetery was inaugurated in 1781 by vicar Carl Henrik Ståhle. After the vicar the cemetery was first known as Ståhleborg, the oldest section is still called with the old name. There are two funeral chapels in the cemetery: the old chapel designed by architect Otto F. Holm was completed in 1923 and is located in the older section.
