View the memorial stone U 962 standing alongside three other stones in Uppsala, where the edge bearing the engraver's name is partially chipped.

U 962 is a memorial stele located outside the wall of a church in Uppsala. It is placed together with three other stones, U 963, U 964, and U 965. U 962 stands the northernmost of the four stones.

The stone is 0.8 meters wide with a run-height of 5 centimeters. The edge with the engraver's name is partially chipped. It was previously placed in the churchyard wall, but it was erected in its current location in 1948.

The inscription in the stone is translated as. efter sig själv, medan han levde. Och. Fastger.
