Urnenfriedhof am Tabor, Crematorium and urn cemetery in Tabor district, Steyr, Austria.

The crematorium building and cemetery feature Renaissance-style elements near the historical Tabor cemetery, covering a designated memorial space in Steyr.

The facility opened in 1927 as Austria's second crematorium, with Hedwig Mitterberger becoming the first person cremated there on August 12, 1927.

The establishment of this crematorium marked a shift in burial practices, despite initial opposition from the Roman Catholic Church in the 1920s.

The cemetery grounds, located at Taborweg 8-10, remain under the administration of Steyr municipal authorities since their acquisition in 1939.

In 2011, workers discovered over 1000 historical urns beneath a former boundary wall, now marked with a granite covering.
