On Vämö today there are five burial grounds, two of which are still in use.
In the far north is Wämö cemetery. It was built in 1857 but expanded already in 1881. The expansion continued in 1900 and 1931.
Famous people who are buried there include the lady impersonator John Lind, the children's song writer Karl Birger Arvidsson, the inventor of the purified brandy, L.O. Smith, as you can see on the seals of the Abslout bottles!
Just south of this is the Mosaic burial ground which was established by Fabian Philip in 1785, to be able to bury the family members. The last burial took place in 2013.
Right next to the Tyska Bryggaregården, is the Garrison Cemetery, which is also known as the "Plague Cemetery". However, it was not constructed when the bubonic plague ravaged Karlskrona in 1710-1711. Plague victims were most likely buried at the old pile bed on the eastern side of Vämö.
In 1739 there was a beautiful garden on the site, but shortly afterwards it was transferred to the Admiralty and probably began to be used for burying military personnel.
There is documentation that shows that the Garrison Cemetery was used in the early 19th century.
However, the place changes its name again and is called the Fattigvård cemetery at the end of the 19th century. During the first half of the 19th century, it was used for the burial of those who lived their last days at the Poor House on Pottholmen.
During the Spanish Flu in 1918, the Garrison Cemetery was used as a burial place for military personnel.
The cemetery on the east side, south of the old shipyard. It was probably here that the plague victims were buried in 1710-1711. There is no documentation in the parish Registers of Death for this period, so the information is very uncertain. It was not until 1714 that the death book was started again in Karlskrona. Those who died of plague were not allowed to be buried within the city, but it was at Aspö (military personnel) and Vämö (civilian) that they were buried.
The cemetery on the east side, north of the old yard. This cemetery was likely for military personnel and those who had worked at the old shipyard.
The victims of the cholera epidemic in 1853 were buried in hastily prepared cemeteries at, among others, Saltö and Tjurkö. About 1000 people died during this epidemic.
