Helsfyr gravlund is in the southeastern part of Østre gravlund - the area of (10,5 dekar) 2,60 acres (US/UK) was purchased by the Jewish community in 1912. Since Jewish graves, according to Jewish traditions, cannot be reused (the graves are everlasting), the Jewish congregation itself must buy their cemetery.

Helsfyr gravlund came into use in 1917. In the middle of the cemetery stands a monument over the 620 Norwegian Jews who were killed at home and abroad during World War II.
