--------------------
The parish cemetery Zwartemeer was inaugurated in October 1921 simultaneously with the inauguration of the First Parish Church, St. Anthony Church.
In the cemetery are buried only Roman Catholics.
In the cemetery of Zwartemeer people can choose a single or a double grave. This can in both cases be with and without a cellar. In addition there are in the cemetery readymade basement particles present in which an urn can be placed. Also, there is a separate scattering field applied where the ashes of the deceased can be strewn. On said stray field stands a large wooden cross where signs can be placed in the name of someone whose ashes are scattered.
