The Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe (ASCE, www.significantcemeteries.org) is a professional organization dedicated to protecting and publicizing historic European cemeteries as heritage sites. It holds events, including conferences and tours, and produces publications to promote European cemeteries as an essential part of humanity’s legacy. In 2019, the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery Initiative presented a poster at ASCE’s annual conference, and it plans to officially register the Protestant cemetery with the Association in the near future.
