Park Street Cemetery is a vast imperial necropolis in the heart of the city with examples of a large number of neo-classical funerary sculptures. The pyramids, pavilions and tombs within this place are at present in a state of decay. Sincere efforts have been made by the British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia to restore it.

As one of the oldest Christian burial grounds in the city, it bears the testimony of many colonial settlers who lived and died here in Kolkata. In fact the oldest recorded British grave of a certain Mr. Wood, a "writer" at the Writers' Building, the British administerial headquarters can be still found here.
