Read More	GRAVE SITES The cemetery has about 250 tombs, mainly tombs for coffins, of which about 155 are active, ie have burial rights holders. There is also room to build about 40 new burial sites near the old mortuary. However, the need for burial sites has not yet been so great that this has become necessary. FUTURE As the population increases around Stora Råby, so does the number of people who want to use both church and cemetery. Just as in the rest of the Pastorate, the cemetery department strives to meet the needs and wishes of different burial conditions. This means that changes may be made in the cemetery eg. construction of an ash burial ground, if the public express such requests. HISTORY Originally, the church was surrounded by farms in the north, east and west. The oldest part of the cemetery is the area between the church and the southern cemetery wall. To the south of the church is a collection of artistically and culturally valuable tombs. Most are made of limestone, some in granite and some in slate from Fågelsång in Hardeberga. The shale and limestones are easy to process but not so durable, so the text becomes difficult to read over time and eventually disappears. On on side there were names of the deceased and on the other side often a sentence, usually from a hymn. A list of the inscriptions on the oldest tombs was made in 1940 and is now on the Lund Collection of the City Library. The first enlargement was made in 1835 to the east. The subsequent enlargements were carried out in 1864 to the north and 1894 to the west. When the cemetery was surrounded by walls, the work on the extensions consisted largely in moving and rebuilding them. The cemetery was expanded in 1929 to the north. Townhouses and economy buildings were erected in 1959 after drawings by the cathedral architect Eiler Graebe. In 1990, the courthouse was transformed into a staff room for the cemetery staff.
