This may sound rather morbid, but quite a few people who visit Westgaarde Cemetery do so to rest, but not in peace, so to speak. The spacious park is an ideal haven for people who enjoy plant and animal life as Westgaarde is an unspoiled slice of nature home to many different species of birds. There are also many attractive monuments at the cemetery including a powerful tribute to one of the biggest disasters in Dutch aviation history that occurred in 1977. The Tenerife Monument is itself reason enough to visit Westgaarde, although De Tulp (The Tulip), a collection of stained-glass name plates, is an impressive tribute to the deceased as well. Since 1996 it's also possible for Ajax supporters to show their eternal love for this legendary Dutch football team by having their ashes scattered on a patch of grass from Ajax's old stadium. Even the old Ajax players' bench has been moved here!
