Rouw- en gedenkpark Tongerseweg
Also known as Begraafplaats Tongerseweg , Algemene Begraafplaats Tongerseweg , General Cemetery Tongerseweg
Maastricht, Maastricht Municipality, Limburg, Netherlands
Maastricht's largest cemetery.
In 1805, plans were drawn up for a new municipal cemetery for Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish burials (separated from the main cemetery by walls). Inaugurated on January 27, 1812, the cemetery was expanded in 1857, 1910 and 1956. The new entrance on Javastraat opened in 1961.
In 1920, a section of the cemetery was dedicated for non-religious burials. There are memorial sections dedicated to Dutch, Belgian and Commonwealth fallen military personnel from both World Wars and the Indonesian National Revolution. Islamic burials started in 1983.
A large-scale renovation and expansion took place during 2021-2022, with the intention of transforming the cemetery into a funeral and memorial park. The cemetery name changed to reflect this.
