About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

In 1827, it was decided that burials inside churches were no longer allowed in the Netherlands, starting in 1829. This would mean Catholics would have to be buried in general cemeteries. In order to prevent this, some Catholics in Leiden requested a piece of land on which they could build a Roman Catholic cemetery. This request was accepted. On 19 November 1828, the cemetery was officially opened and the first people were buried. On 1 August 1969, it was decided that Begraafplaats Zijlpoort would be closed. The cemetery was full and people were only able to be interred into already existing family graves. The Catholics of Leiden were buried in Begraafplaats Rhijnhof from that point forward. However, in 1985, the cemetery was reopened and it is still open for burials to this day.
