Rahumäe Cemetery
Tartu's Rahumäe cemetery on Jaama street was founded in the early 20th century as the new graveyard of St Peter's congregation, which is why it was also called Peetri or Jaama cemetery; the name Rahumäe, 'hill of peace', was in use by 1931. Its wooden office building dates from 1910. In the 1930s it had an unusual duty: every May or June, the bodies dissected at the university's Old Anatomical Theatre, more than thirty a year, were buried here in common graves. Today the cemetery spreads east into Lohkva village, and Tartu's crematorium, completed in 1996, stands on its grounds.

Tartu Rahumäe kalmistu Jaama tänava ääres rajati 20. sajandi algul Peetri koguduse uue surnuaiana, mistõttu kutsuti seda ka Peetri või Jaama kalmistuks; nimi Rahumäe oli kasutusel hiljemalt 1931. aastast. Puidust kontorihoone ehitati 1910. aastal. 1930. aastatel oli kalmistul eriline kohustus: igal mail või juunil maeti siia ühishaudadesse ülikooli Vanas Anatoomikumis lahatud surnukehad, üle kolmekümne aastas. Tänapäeval ulatub kalmistu ida poole Lohkva külla ja selle alal asub 1996. aastal valminud Tartu krematoorium.
