About this cemetery
The Algemene Begraafplaats Crooswijk is a national monument in the Crooswijk district of Rotterdam, on a bend of the river Rotte. It was taken into use in July 1832, before it was finished, because a cholera epidemic had left Rotterdam with many dead to bury. The cemetery has a chapel in which funeral services are held.
