Rahumäe Cemetery
Rahumäe Cemetery is a broad landscape of remembrance where the histories of Tallinn’s different communities stand side by side.
Rahumäe was established as a growing Tallinn needed more burial space beyond its older centre. Different sections, inscriptions and monuments reveal changing communities and customs of mourning. An imposing memorial may stand beside a modest marker; neither measures the worth of the person remembered. If looking for a particular grave, use the cemetery’s official plan rather than drawing a life story from a name or inscription alone. Rahumäe remains an active burial ground.
