A square sheped general cemetery of approx. 3,900 m²
All graves have been issued so no new graves are made here. One can only be burried here if there is a paid for (family) grave already on site.

The cemetery has 7 WWII British graves. They belong to 7 British soldiers of the 1st Airborne Division who were involved in the fighting during Operation Market Garden (specifically the Battle of Arnhem) in the autumn of 1944. The bodies of these soldiers washed up in 1944 in the floodplains of Wijk bij Duurstede.
