Cemitério dos Olivais, Cemetery in Santa Maria dos Olivais, Lisbon, Portugal

Olivais Cemetery is Lisbon's fifth municipal cemetery, laid out in the eastern parish of Olivais on ground where the Franciscan Convento de São Cornélio stood from 1674. The oldest tombs line the route to the chapel, among them that of the Viscondessa dos Olivais, who funded a children's asylum. A second crematorium for the city opened here in December 2002 and gained a third furnace in 2009.

The cemetery was established in 1897 to serve the growing neighborhood and has been expanded several times since to meet community needs. A convent called São Cornélio, built in 1674, once stood on the same grounds, and remnants of its gateway remain visible today.

The oldest tombs line the route to the cemetery chapel, among them that of the Viscondessa dos Olivais, who funded a children's asylum in the area; it still operates as a nursery and kindergarten under the Fundação D. Pedro IV. The cemetery's name comes from the Olivais parish, and the grounds occupy the site of the former Convento de São Cornélio.

The cemetery is easily accessible and located near residential areas, making it convenient for visitors to walk there. The paths are well maintained and shaded by trees, which provides comfort during warm weather.

The crematorium opened here in December 2002 as Lisbon's second, and a third furnace was added in 2009. Among those cremated are the journalist Carlos Pinto Coelho, the poet and actress Rosa Lobato de Faria, the actors António Feio and Pedro Pinheiro, and the musician Zé Pedro of Xutos & Pontapés.
