Zorgvlied, Cemetery at Amsteldijk, Netherlands

The cemetery extends along the left bank of the Amstel River, featuring pathways and gardens designed in the English landscape style.

Established in 1870 by the city of Amstelveen, Zorgvlied incorporates the grounds of a former villa and received multiple expansions between 1892 and 1926.

The cemetery contains 1,031 memorials, including graves of Dutch writers, theater personalities, and World War II soldiers with distinctive helmet markers.

The grounds remain under the management of Gemeente Amstelveen, despite being located within Amsterdam's boundaries since 1896.

A dedicated area called Paradiso allows for extraordinary monument designs, following discussions about creative memorial expressions in the 1990s.
