Begraafplaats Groenestraat Nijmegen

Little known cemetery on the Groenestraat in Nijmegen. Entrance is on the left next to the Groenestraat church. Also a small stray field. There is one civilian victim of the bombing of Nijmegen during the second world war. Background info from the responsible parish website: "In 1909 asked pastor NJ Erp of the new parish and St. Anna H.Antonius authorize the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of Nijmegen to lay a cemetery to the parish church to the Groenestraat Hazenkamp in the district. The priest gave the permission and in 1910 found the first funerals. the field was expanded in 1913 and 1942, making the cemetery increasingly shifted to the middle of the building. On September 1, 1972 was the parish H.Antonius and St. Anna in the Emmausparochie. In June 2012 the Emmaus parish merged into the parish H. Three Unit. As a result, the cemetery is under the management of the parish of H.Three. The cemetery is an attractive park-like cemetery with beautiful stately trees. You can rent a family, child or urn grave for 20 years or more. Cellar and tomb burials are also possible. If it is decided to cremation, one can let the urn to pull out in a specially constructed columbarium, which is located in the middle of the cemetery. Optionally, the urn can be added to an existing grave or a new urn grave. The ash can also be scattered on the stray field. The cemetery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. For more information: Management Committee, R.K.
