Pärnamäe Cemetery

Pärnamäe Cemetery extends across 105.6 hectares of land, featuring rolling hills, pine trees, juniper thickets, and naturally arranged burial plots without straight paths.

The cemetery opened in 1963 on 55 hectares of Iru barren land, and expanded to 104 hectares in 1978 to accommodate growing burial needs.

The cemetery maintains natural landscape elements with specific regulations prohibiting rigid grave borders to preserve the intended aesthetic of the grounds.

The site processes between 10 and 15 burials daily and includes Estonia's first crematorium, which was established at the location in 1993.

The cemetery's layout consists of 50 different sectors varying in size, developed progressively according to the construction timeline of the grounds.
