Looking for a cemetery in Malmo

We are looking for the possible burial site of Lars Friberg Olsson, died in Akarp, Bunlofs, Malmo in1868. Can you help us?

Heidi Kuosmanen

You probably mean Åkarp Burlöv, Malmö. Best possibility for his burial site is Burlövs gamla kyrkogård (Old church yard of Burlöv), around Burlövs gamla kyrka.

You will probably not find the exact plot. Graves are frequently recycled in Europe about every 30 years or so.

That depends on the burial site. In Sweden, there are also old cemeteries. Like in Burlövs gamla kyrkogård:

Thank you Heidi, After I sent that request off to you I realized that of course he would be buried in the parish church cementery (unless those graves have been replaced by a garden like my husband's ancestprs was in Staffordshire, England.😥 I was able to find a picture of the gamla church in the wiki.
