Abstract::This article delves into the analysis of inscriptions found on the graves of Serampore, focusing on the Danish and Catholic cemeteries. Although lost over time, these writings were documented by various scholars. By comparing these with other sources, the writings offer deeper insights into the European Christian community in this area. The discussion reveals that prominent individuals and European families, not just of Danish descent, resided in Serampore during and after the Danish era, often favouring it for a residence after retirement. This sheds light on a different aspect of Serampore’s urban life, showing how it evolved beyond its Danish roots.

Key Words::Christian community, Catholic, Danish, European, Grave, Protestant etc.
