Schaerbeek Cemetery

Schaerbeek Cemetery (French: Cimetière de Schaerbeek, Dutch: Begraafplaats van Schaarbeek), officially Schaerbeek New Cemetery (French: Nouveau Cimetière de Schaerbeek, Dutch: Nieuwe Begraafplaats van Schaarbeek), is a cemetery belonging to the municipality of Schaerbeek, Brussels (Belgium), where the inhabitants of Schaerbeek have the right to be buried. It is not located in Schaerbeek itself; rather it is partially in the neighbouring municipality of Evere, and partially in the village of Sint-Stevens-Woluwe in the municipality of Zaventem in Flemish Brabant. The cemetery is adjacent to Brussels Cemetery and Evere Cemetery, but should not be confused with either.
