The church and cemetery of Blaasveld together tell the story of five centuries of burials in the village.
The vast majority of the gravestones in the cemetery date from the interbellum and the post-war period. The cemetery illustrates the complete evolution of materials (bluestone, white marble, slate, sandstone and granite), grave types (steles and tombstones with steles), styles (art deco and modernism) and decoration from that period. The large share of high-quality sculpture on the gravestones is remarkable (for example Frans Desmet +1933, Jan Bernaerts +1961, Leontine Bernarts +1961).
