How do I find a name in an Oslo cemetery when I don't know the name of the cemetery?

Question

My grandmother, Ragnhild Ericha (Troye) Kruse and my grandfather, Christian Peder Kruse, died in Oslo.....my grandmother in March 1967 and my grandfather, I think, September 1969, but I do not know in which cemetery they are buried.

Answer 1

They are buried at Nordre Gravlund in Oslo. Below are references to a norwegian database on gravestone inscriptions, run by the Genealogy Society of Norway. There´s only norwegian texts I´m afraid.

Your grandfather:

Slekt og Data Gravminnebasen, ID: 3b50d7a2-6c42-41b6-a136-0e7854123e57, minneside basert på bilder og gravminnedata for Christian Peter Kruse, (02.juni 1885 - 25.september 1968).

Answer 2

Hi Marie,

I did a search on Find a Grave and FamilySearch but found nothing. You might try the Digital Archive from the National archives of Norway.

There are other records on FamilySearch but not a burial record.
