The metropolitan municipality of Turkey is in charge of the administration of this particular cemetery and it was initially planned back in the year 1935. But it was in the 1950s that the burial ground took the shape and boundaries that it has in the present day.

This mosque can hold up to five hundred people during prayer and the mosque has been specially constructed to carry out the burial prayers A verse from the Holy Koran is encrypted at the gates of the cemetery that says that every living thing will taste death.
