Eastern Cemetery (Uddevalla)

It belongs to the Church of Sweden, which professes to Lutheranism, and serves as burial grounds for – primarily – the members of Bäve Parish (sv).

[1][3] A number of prominent people from the city have been buried at the Eastern Cemetery, among them the businessman and politician Ture Malmgren, the creator of Tureborg Castle, who died in 1922.

His wife Hilma Malmgren survived him by several decades, and was buried next to him following her death in 1942.

[4][5] Other prominent burials include the parish priest Casten Rabe (buried in 1836), the provost Magnus Ullman (1842), the colonel Georg Gillis von Heideman, and a range of members from the historically well-known Bagge family.

[2] In 2015 it was proposed that the walkway by the cemetery would be renamed for the noted Uddevalla historian, Sten Kristiansson, who died in 1957.
