There are two names on the column dating from the 19th Century and two on the plinth from the 20th Century.

The 19th century names have a slightly different spelling than the later ones and it would appear that the name Hallbäck has been Anglicised to Hallbeck without the use of accented letters.

This old cemetery is now a public park and only has new internments for families with graves already in the cemetery.
