A wealth of discoveries awaits you behind the green hedges of Berchem’s cemetery. Some of the tombs of local dignitaries and artists are quite impressive. Their families constructed large structures as a final resting place for their loved ones. Football fans can go in search of the tombs of Red Devils Ludo Coeck and Albert De Hert. The latter also invented the infamous martino sandwich.
In addition to the typical white grave monuments of three British soldiers, many fallen Belgian soldiers were also buried here. The 179 birches that were planted in honour of the many civilian victims of the Second World War give visitors pause for thought.
