Cemetery Fiumei

Local name: Fiumei úti sírkert

The Kerepesi Cemetery is the burial place of many distinguished and distinguished Hungarians, politicians, writers, artists and leaders. We will see here gravestones, statues and sometimes even very impressive mausoleums of famous people. A very large area (56 hectares) and lush vegetation make this cemetery resemble a park.

Lajos Batthyány, Ferenc Deák and Lajos Kossuth rest in the most magnificent mausoleums. Other well-known figures buried in Cereat Kerepesi include: writer Mihály Vörösmarty, physicist Loránd Eötvös, poet Endre Ada, doctor Ignaz Semmelweis and actress Lujza Blaha.

Kerepesi Cemetery has existed since the mid-nineteenth century, the first burial took place here in 1849. At the end of the nineteenth century, it gained the name of a cemetery for distinguished people, and as a result over the next decades the remains of many significant Hungarians were moved here from their current resting places. A few years after his death he was transferred here, among others poet József Attila. During the communist period, the cemetery was not used for ideological reasons.
