Prince Oscar and his wife princess Ebba née Munck af Fulkila were both deeply religious and active in organizations such as YMCA of Sweden and the Salvation Army.
The architect Gunnar Asplund, known for the famous Woodland Cemetery, Skogskyrkogården, designed the Bernadotte mausoleum in which Prince Oscar rests.
