Malmi Cemetery
The Malmi Cemetery (Finnish: Malmin hautausmaa; Swedish: Malms begravningsplats) is a large cemetery located at the corner between Ring I and the Lahti Highway (E75) in the Malmi district in Helsinki, Finland. It is the largest cemetery in Finland in terms of both area and number of burials. It was a former training and camp site for soldiers under the administration of the Finnish Crown. In the early 20th century, Malmi Cemetery even had its own train connection and water tower. Many well-known Finns also rest in the Malmi Cemetery, e.g. actors Tauno Palo, Matti Pellonpää and Ansa Ikonen, singers Olavi Virta, Tapio Rautavaara and Laila Kinnunen, designer Birger Kaipiainen, and one of the Winter War heroes, Captain Aarne Juutilainen.
