IL GIARDINO-CIMITERO DI ABNEY PARK, LONDRA
Articolo di David Solman e Frances Borzello
Appartati rispetto alle strade rumorose e piene di traffico di Londra, ci sono sette magnifici cimiteri: Abney Park, Highgate, Brompton, Kensal Green, Norwood, Nunhead e Tower Hamlets. Fondati agli inizi del XIX secolo come magnifici esempi di arte funeraria, giardini botanici e parchi, sono stati gradualmente riscoperti e restaurati, o adibiti a nuovi usi a beneficio delle comunità locali e dei turisti.

'Assistens', il cimitero storico di Copenaghen
Articolo di Jens Moller Andersen, Amministrazione dei Cimiteri di Copenhagen
Il Cimitero 'Assistens' fu realizzato nel 1760. Oggi, più di 240 anni dopo la sua inaugurazione, fuori delle mura che circondano questo cimitero di 200.600 mq è cresciuto un intero quartiere. Il luogo si chiama 'Norrebro' ed è situato nella zona settentrionale di Copenaghen. All'epoca della realizzazione del cimitero, invece, non c'era nessun abitato in questa area, neanche una chiesa. Era un pascolo per il bestiame.

Il Cimitero centrale di Lubiana è un cimitero urbano, integrato nel tessuto cittadino.
Con le tombe e le lapidi che serbano il ricordo dei defunti, la necropoli è lo specchio della società e della sua cultura; come luogo del ricordo dei suoi grandi personaggi, per il popolo sloveno ha un alto significato storico e culturale.

Allnizio del XIX secolo, in Lituania come in tutta l'Europa, cambia il concetto dei cimiteri dopo la rinuncia a seppellire i defunti nelle cripte sotterranee e nei cortili delle chiese. Il cimitero di Rasos a Vilnius, costruito nel 1801, è il primo cimitero di nuova concezione in Lituania, dopo che era stato vietato di seppellire i morti nei cortili della chiesa di S. Giuseppe Nicodemo presso la Porta dell'Aurora.
