Oulu Cemetery, Public cemetery in Intiö district, Oulu, Finland

The cemetery spans 26.5 hectares near the center of Oulu, featuring two funeral chapels and multiple sections for different types of burials.

Vicar Carl Henrik Ståhle inaugurated the cemetery on August 27, 1781, naming it Ståhleborg, which remains the designation for its oldest section.

The military section contains a 1952 war memorial called 'The Battle Has Ended' by sculptor Oskari Jauhiainen, honoring World War II soldiers.

The newer chapel, constructed between 1972 and 1973, includes a crematory facility and serves the current needs of the local population.

The cemetery holds the remains of numerous regional figures, including Otto Karhi, Teuvo Pakkala, and Samuli Paulaharju, representing local history.
