Västra kyrkogårdens kapell: The chapel was built in 1885 and renovated in the 1940s. It is rarely used, as few burials now take place in the cemetery.

Västra kyrkogården (the Western Cemetery) contains around 700 graves that tell much about the history of Umeå.

The cemetery formerly had a smaller chapel, which was demolished; a fountain now stands on the site.
