Østre Kirkegård er på ca. 7,5 ha og blev indviet i 1811. Kirkegården blev, som konsekvens af 1805- loven, som forbød begravelser i kirkerne, anlagt som en assistens-kirkegård dvs. en kirkegård som ikke ligger umiddelbart ved en kirke.
This bell tower of red bricks, is standing near the chapel at Østre Kirkegaard in Randers. The bell is partially hidden behind the slats in the top of the tower.
Østre Kirkegård is approx. 7.5 hectares and was opened in 1811. The cemetery was, as a consequence of the 1805-law, that prohibited burials in churches, constructed as a Assistens cemetery. An Assistens Cemetery is originally a generic term in Danish, used to refer to cemeteries which were laid out to assist existing burial sites, usually those located in urban settings in connection with churches.
