About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Skogslyckan Kyrkogard is located north of central Vaxjo in Kronobergs Lan, Smaland, Sweden. This cemetery was planned in the early 1900s, as Tegner Cemetery was no longer large enough to serve the city's needs. The congregation of what in English is known as Forest Lyckan Cemetery, purchased eight acres of land in 1926.

The design of the cemetery was originated by county architect, Signature Bergentz, and later modified by county architect, Olof Lundgren. It took over ten years to build the cemetery, beginning in 1932, and ending with the inauguration on June 6, 1943.

The character of the forest cemetery has been maintained, even though buildings over time have surrounded it.

The cemetery is also Forest Lyckans church, which was originally opened in the funeral chapel, but later renovated, and opened as a church in 1966. The church split in 1977, and it became a parish church in newly formed Forest Fortune Township. The Crematorium, built in 1943, was closed in 2000.
