Schaerbeek Cemetery (French: Cimetière de Schaerbeek, Dutch: Begraafplaats van Schaarbeek), officially Schaerbeek New Cemetery (French: Nouveau Cimetière de Schaerbeek, Dutch: Nieuwe Begraafplaats van Schaarbeek), is a cemetery belonging to Schaerbeek in Brussels, Belgium, where the municipality's inhabitants have the right to be buried. It is not located in Schaerbeek itself; rather it is partially in the neighbouring municipality of Evere, and partially in the village of Sint-Stevens-Woluwe in Zaventem, Flemish Brabant. The cemetery is adjacent to Brussels Cemetery and Evere Cemetery, but should not be confused with either.

Location and accessibility

Schaerbeek Cemetery is surrounded by the Avenue Jules Bordet/Jules Bordetlaan, the Rue d'Evere/Eversestraat and the Kleine Eversweg. The entry is in Evere on the Avenue Jules Bordet.

Immediately to the west of Schaerbeek Cemetery, and separated from it by a walkway, is Evere Cemetery.[1]
