NOTES: Asplund and Lewerentz won the competition for the new cemetery in 1915 and spent the next 25 years developing the cemetery in a landscape of wooded pines populated by small chapels. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is by Asplund (1935-1940). In the background is the Resurrection Monument of 1930 by John Lundqvist. See RIBA132340 for a black and white version of this image
