The Roman Catholic cemetery at Oud-Emmeloord, which commemorates the Schokland settlement until its evacuation in 1859, is marked with a specially designed artwork. In 2004, the National Postcode Lottery provided a substantial sum to Het Flevo-landschap for Schokland. The project's goal was to preserve and enhance the unique character of Schokland—an island in the polder landscape. Thanks to this special contribution, Het Flevo-landschap, in collaboration with its Schokland partners, has been able to realize many ambitions, including marking the Roman Catholic cemetery, which is not recognizable as such.

This is where the former residents of Schokland are reburied. Their family names are inscribed around the graves. There's also a beautiful view of the polder.
