Crooswijk General Cemetery, General cemetery in Kralingen-Crooswijk, Netherlands
The cemetery extends across a large area with carefully planned sections, featuring tree-lined paths and numerous stone monuments throughout the grounds.
Established in 1832 during a cholera epidemic, the cemetery became essential after Rotterdam prohibited burials within city limits in 1827.
The grounds contain 124 Commonwealth burials from World War II and 11 Polish graves, including an American volunteer who served in the Polish Air Force.
Visitors can obtain a cultural route booklet from the entrance office on Kerkhoflaan, which provides detailed information about significant locations within the cemetery.
The cemetery incorporates specific tree species such as Weeping Beech, Silver Birch, and Dutch Elm, selected for their traditional association with mourning.
