Pärnamäe Cemetery

Pärnamäe in Pirita, Tallinn's largest cemetery at over 105 hectares, was opened in 1962 by merging two older cemeteries, and its first burial took place in 1963. In 1993 Estonia's first crematorium opened here. Among those buried here are the poet Andres Ehin, the film directors Leida Laius and Boris Jaanikosk, the writer Debora Vaarandi and the sculptor Hannes Starkopf.
