Special in the design is that it combines elements of the existing cultural landscape with the development of nature according to the surrounding dune landscape.
The structure of the plantation is based on the existing Schurvelingen landscape with a rectangular pattern. The new dune valley is located in the central part of the design, with offers a nice and quiet area for contemplation. The design is the result of a process of collaboration with the Landscape organization of the province of South-Holland, the Organization for nature and landscape of the isle of Goeree-Overflakkee and the local municipality. Only the most recent graves will be maintained intensively, so the other parts will contribute to nature development and will have a natural appearance.
