Planning for Strandkyrkogården began in the first years of the 1980s and the facility was inaugurated on 20 September 1996. No chapel buildings were erected because Strandkyrkogården was considered complementary to Skogskyrkogården in Gamla Enskede.
The cemetery covers 25 hectares of land that alternates between open parkland and closed forest areas with the burial sites. In total, there is room for around 20.000 graves. The entrance is located by Gudöbroleden and is decorated with granite blocks from Göinge. Next to the cemetery 's memorial grove , there is a viewpoint with a view of lake Drevviken.

The Western Cemetery is a landscaped garden inaugurated in 1873.
It was the first neutral cemetery in Ghent that offered a resting place to all convictions with a complete freedom of choice of the personal tombstone. This results in a big individual diversity integrated in one garden.
Especially in the romantic 19th century people visited this cemetery for a Sunday-stroll and enjoyed the splendour of the monuments and the tranquillity of nature.

The Campo Santo of Sint-Amandsberg is a 19th century cemetery located on a hill, which is special because of the lowland landscape.
This cemetery dates from 1847 and is a very important burial place for Flemish writers, artists and local nobility.
It was inspired by Père Lachaise, the largest cemetery in Paris, and now has more than 131 protected tombs.
