Anderlecht Cemetery

Anderlecht Cemetery (French: Cimetière d'Anderlecht; Dutch: Begraafplaats van Anderlecht), also known as Vogelenzang Cemetery or Vogelzang Cemetery, is a cemetery belonging to Anderlecht in Brussels, Belgium, where the municipality's inhabitants have the right to be buried. It is located at 1–3, ave

nue du Soldat Britannique/Britse-Soldaatlaan, in the south of the municipality. This modern cemetery was inaugurated on 31 October 1954, reflecting a shift in cemetery architecture towards more orderly, egalitarian design. The area is about 18 hectares (44 acres) in total. When it opened, families were given the option to transfer existing graves from the old municipal cemetery at the Place du Repos/Rustplein, and around 1,250 funerary monuments were thus moved to the new site.
