Leposaari - Kulosaari cemetery

Leposaarentie, 00570 Helsinki

Kulosaari cemetery on the small Leposaari island is closely related to the history of the Kulosaari area. Several prominent figures of art, science, military and economic life are buried here.

There's also a soldier's graveyard in Leposaari for 18 fallen soldiers of the Winter- and Continuation War. And a monument in memory of six soldiers gone missing in war. The graveyard and the monument were designed by architect Arne Helander, who also designed the cemetery gate and an area on the east side of the cemetery. The relief on the monument was designed by sculptor Ben Renvall from Kulosaari.
