    The workers who died during the construction work on the Malm Railway/Ofot Railway, mostly from accidents but also from illnesses, are buried at Rallarkyrkogården. The cemetery was established in 1899 and expanded in several stages. The chapel in the cemetery also dates from 1899. In the period up to 1902, around 50 people were buried, including 15 children. The cemetery got its current appearance in 1937. By the time it was closed, 170 people, including 70 children, were buried here. The nationalities of those buried are often noted on the grave crosses.
