The location emerged after research by the municipality of Amersfoort. The Partnership of Amersfoort Mosques (SvAM) has been working for a long time to realize an Islamic cemetery. For years they have wanted their own cemetery, where believers can be buried according to their own rituals and customs. Several locations, including Rusthof, have been investigated, but Hoogland-West meets most of the criteria. “This choice puts an end to an urgent situation for Amersfoort Muslims,” said the chairman of SvAM earlier.
