The cemetery is located right next to the church and the traditional cemetery.

At the cemetery, which opened in the autumn, two dogs, a cat, a rabbit and a squirrel have so far been buried.

In the first stage, only parishioners are allowed to bury their cremated animals here.

- I think pets have been given a higher status.

You take good care of them and want to take care of them even after they have passed away.

I think it will be important for many older people, says Håkan Ljungberg.

For a small fee, you can dispose of an area of ​​50 x 50 centimeters where the pet can be buried.

The owners can choose how the grave is to be decorated and it is possible to place a memorial stone and light candles.

In Halmstad, there are two animal cemeteries since before, one at Alet and the other at Galgberget.

These are run under municipal auspices.
