Svolvær Cemetery was founded with the goal of improving the maintenance of the cemetery. The association focuses on highlighting the municipality's tasks related to the cemetery, and works to ensure that the graves are kept in good condition. In addition to maintenance, they encourage individuals to take responsibility for their own graves, which contributes to a more personal touch to the area.
The association has completed several projects, including the construction of a new stone fence surrounding the cemetery, as well as the installation of a new security cabinet in the chapel. Svolvær Cemetery also offers information about the cemetery and the work of the association, which can be useful for visitors and relatives. This helps to create a better understanding of the importance of the cemetery and the measures that have been taken to preserve it.
