Add PhotosLocated in a southwestern Parisian suburb, the cemetery serves the community of Fontenay-aux-Roses. When the population reached over 1,000 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, the cemetery was opened in 1850 and now has two parts. The upper part, which is the oldest, has graves for those exhumed from an old community cemetery in 1859. The grave markers are more elaborate than the newer area. This area of the cemetery has many shade trees, whereas the lower newer part does not. A staircase connects the upper and lower part. Many noted citizens are buried in the lower new part. After opening in 1850, the cemetery was enlarged in 1874, 1909, 1950 and 1969. The "Victory Oak" was planted after the end of World War I in 1919. A columbarium has been installed since 2001 and expanded in November of 2018.
