Naujininkai is one of the elderships of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is situated in the south-west of the city and lies between Vilnius International Airport and the railway station. It has an Old Believers cemetery and a church.
Since the 19th century, the territory of Naujininkai was used as a cemetery. Naujininkai holds the only Old Believer cemetery in Vilnius. In 1825, two merchants bought a plot in Naujininkai and built a wooden meeting-house.
In the 19th century, when steam energy started to spread, many factories in the suburbs of Vilnius built chimneys, because of that Naujininkai was called Kaminai (English: chimneys). The construction of the railway in Vilnius determined the growth of the neighborhood. Industry (most of which was associated with railways), warehouses and new residential buildings started to grow.
Newcomers named many streets, such as Šaltkalvių (Metalworker), Konduktorių (Conductor) streets. Many of these names are still present in modern days.
The houses in Naujininkai are diverse. There are Soviet-era multistory blocks, old wooden houses and other types of architecture.

The English coastal city of Brighton and Hove, made up of the formerly separate Boroughs of Brighton and Hove in East Sussex, has a wide range of cemeteries throughout its urban area. Many were established in the mid-19th century, a time in which the Victorian "cult of death" encouraged extravagant, expensive memorials set in carefully cultivated landscapes which were even recommended as tourist attractions. Some of the largest, such as the Extra Mural Cemetery and the Brighton and Preston Cemetery, were set in particularly impressive natural landscapes. Brighton and Hove City Council, the local authority responsible for public services in the city, manages seven cemeteries, one of which also has the city's main crematorium. An eighth cemetery and a second crematorium are owned by a private company. Many cemeteries are full and no longer accept new burials. The council maintains administrative offices and a mortuary at the Woodvale Cemetery, and employs a coroner and support staff.
