The cemetery takes its name from the villa on whose grounds it is built. The design, by Jan David Zocher , is in the English garden style. Zorgvlied was expanded in 1892 by Zocher's son, Louis Paul Zocher , and again in 1900, 1919, and 1926, when it became a burial place for the upper classes who had often been buried in Westerveld in Driehuis . An atrium was added in 1930.
Perceptions of death and burial have changed considerably. After the 1994 burial of Manfred Langer , whose monument features him holding a glass of beer, some burials have become more extrovert. After a dispute over the burial of visual artist Peter Giele , the board of directors of Zorgvlied set aside a special area, called Paradiso, for monuments with extraordinary appearance or dimensions.
