Türi Central Cemetery
German: Turgel
Türi's 4.48-hectare central cemetery holds the town's War of Independence monument. Designed by Anton Starkopf and carved by A. Pärn, it was unveiled on 20 July 1924. After the March deportation of 1949 the Soviet authorities demolished it. Years later its plinth was found again, and it became the base of the restored monument unveiled on 11 August 1990. Nearby stand memorials to the Estonians who fell in the First World War and in the Second World War, and to those deported to Siberia who died there. Among the people buried here are August Laas, the first mayor of Türi, and Mihkel Koik, the first schoolmaster of the Türi parish school.

Türi 4,48 hektari suurusel kesklinna kalmistul asub linna Vabadussõja mälestussammas. Anton Starkopfi kavandatud ja A. Pärna raiutud sammas avati 20. juulil 1924. Pärast 1949. aasta märtsiküüditamist see lammutati. Hiljem leiti samba sokkel üles ja see sai 11. augustil 1990 taasavatud samba aluseks. Kalmistul on ka Esimeses maailmasõjas ja Teises maailmasõjas langenud eestlaste ning Siberisse küüditatud ja seal hukkunute mälestusmärgid. Siia on maetud Türi esimene linnapea August Laas ja Türi kihelkonnakooli esimene koolmeister Mihkel Koik.
