The municipal cemetery Sint Janshof is situated between the Balij woods, the Bieslandse woods and the Dobbe lake area on the Oudeweg between Pijnacker and Nootdorp. It is a beautifully laid out park in the middle of a nature area that used to be the Sint Jans polder. A place of memories, intended for memories. A cemetery for people from all corners of the earth and all cultures, with their own traditions of burying, cremating and saying goodbye.

Sint Janshof not only has an special character because of its site and atmosphere but also because of its different fields. There are graves in a general field but also in a Roman Catholic field, where the earth has been consecrated by a priest. There is also an Islamic field, where the departed can be buried with their face to Mekka. Children up to the age of 12 can also be buried in a special children's field and family members, if they wish, can be buried together in a family grave. The cemetery also has a columbarium where ashes can be stored following a cremation. It is also possible to plant a memorial tree with the ashes of a loved one: a living monument.

The Municipality manages the cemetery along with the cooperative funeral directors' society: De Laatste Eer (The Last Honour). It was opened in 2011.
