The southern cemetery is an old, no longer used cemetery in the southern parts of Varberg . It has also been called St George cemetery , a name now used for the the 1800s landscaped New cemetery east of the city center.

The cemetery was built in the 1600s, when Varberg at Platsarna was founded in 1613 after the Swedes burned Ny Varberg the year before. On a city plan map from 1645, Södra cemetery is included. Another cemetery, quite small, was found at the city church, erected in 1615-1617, in the current Societetsparken . The only remnants of this church and cemetery are a miserable remnant in the Societetsparken of the church's foundation stones, making Södra cemetery the oldest preserved in Varberg's parish .
