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. The cemetery was opened in 1870 by the city of Amstelveen which still owns and operates it, though since 1896 (when city lines were redrawn) it is located within the boundaries of the city of Amsterdam. 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.
