Zorgvlied (cemetery)

Zorgvlied (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈzɔr(ə)xflit]) is a cemetery on the Amsteldijk [nl] in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on the left bank of the river Amstel.

One of the country's best-known cemeteries, it is notable for the large number of celebrities, especially from the literary and theater worlds, buried there.

The design, by Jan David Zocher, is in the English garden style.

After a dispute over the burial of visual artist Peter Giele, the board of directors of Zorgvlied set aside a special area, called Paradiso, for monuments with extraordinary appearance or dimensions.

The cemetery itself (the park and its paths), as well as a number of grave sites, were added to the list of Rijksmonuments in March 2008:
