The first funeral at Sofienberg's Jewish burial ground took place as late as in 1885 - the cemetery was closed in 1917. Some funerals were conducted after this, which was when people wanted to be buried in the same cemetery as their late spouse - the last funeral was in 1941. Helsfyr gravlund has taken over as Jewish cemetery.
The wrought iron fence around the cemetery was set up after 1945. The cemetery has 197 graves, and in 1997 - 1998 the cemetery was restored in a collaboration between the municipality of Oslo, the city antiquarian and the Jewish congregation.
