Bekkelaget urnelund is in Nordstrand district in Oslo. It is referred to as both kirkegård (from ancient times), but just as much urnelund - the latter is the term the burial authorities at the municipality of Oslo use. The cemetery has always contained only urn graves.

Bekkelaget church was inaugurated on May 27, 1923. In 1937, an urnelund was built around the church, which has since been expanded in 1963, 1967 and 1975. The cemetery originally consisted of a terrace facility which was later expanded by replenishing clay.

An anonymous memorial grove was built in 1993, and a name memorial grove in 2012. Here are the names of plaques on several columns, while the urns themselves are placed around the surrounding area. This is done in order to offer urn places in an otherwise quite full cemetery where it pr. 2013 no new burial sites will be established.
