The General Cemetery on Molenweg in the former Dutch municipality of Schoorl dates back to 1923 and is now part of the municipality of Bergen.
After King Willem I issued a Royal Decree in 1829 stating that municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants were no longer allowed to bury their dead within the built-up area, Schoorl and Groet decided to establish a general cemetery together. The road leading to it was called the "Doodweg" (Death Road), but is now known as Molenweg.
The cemetery is on the north-eastern outskirts of the village, on the Molenweg, a turning off of Laanweg. In the south eastern corner are the graves of 2 sailors and 1 airmen from the United Kingdom, and 1 unidentified soldier.
