The cemetery of Meerbeek has been expanded considerably. This expansion was urgently needed, because the cemetery had been struggling with a lack of space for some time. In the historic cemetery of Meerbeek around the church, no one was buried for a long time, while the existing graveyard behind the church was too small. The lack of space was so acute that the municipality of Kortenberg had to expand the cemetery. Those works have just been completed. The existing cemetery was extended to the rear. Specifically, a large lawn was laid, where the different types of graves were provided in function of the groundwater level. There was also a columbarium garden with an open character. In the columbarium garden there are columbarium niches where the urns can be placed. A sleek, linear design was chosen to guarantee optimum burial capacity. The cemetery also got a distinct green character.
