The Royal Cemetery Haga ( Swedish Kungliga begravningsplatsen i Haga ) is located in the north-west of Solna in Hagapark .

Crown Princess Margareta († 1920) decreed in her will that she did not want to be buried in any church and instead found her resting place on a site in Hagapark. Since then, the members of the Swedish royal family (descendants of King Oskar II) have been buried there and no longer in the traditional tomb, the Riddarholmskyrkan .
