A Jewish funeral home arranges the tahara, a shomer and the burial in keeping with Jewish tradition, and works with the cemetery and the rabbi. Customs vary between families and communities. Ask any home for its General Price List; each keeps its own number.

No cemetery in this region has yet documented public plot sales on EverJewish. Most pages still say "details not yet confirmed" — call the office, and ask about membership as a path in.
Often within a day or two. What sets the timing: the cemetery's schedule, Shabbat and Jewish holidays (Jewish cemeteries generally don't hold burials then), the death certificate and burial permit, and family who need to travel. Waiting for close family is common. The funeral home will tell you the earliest time that works.
3 Jewish funeral homes are documented in the region: Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries in Los Angeles; Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles; Malinow and Silverman Mortuary in Covina. Each page lists what is documented about tahara, shomer, Shabbat and holiday practice, and what remains an open question.
Whether plots are currently available and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including interfaith and section rules; costs in writing — plot, opening and closing, perpetual care, monument; and which funeral home the cemetery works with. Every cemetery on EverJewish can be asked directly from its page, and questions marked "planning ahead" carry no urgency.
Tell us once what you're looking for — how many plots, which section, your timeframe — and the Jewish cemeteries near you answer on EverJewish: availability, what's required, and pricing with payment plans. Offices that have joined answer in their own words; for the rest, your page shows what is on record and their number. No calls until you choose.
# Greater Los Angeles
The Greater Los Angeles area has 24 documented Jewish cemeteries within fifty miles of downtown Los Angeles, spread across 17 towns in California. These include eight standalone Jewish cemeteries and seven Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. Locations begin eight miles from the city center in Los Angeles itself, which has eight cemeteries, and extend through nearby communities including Commerce, Gardena, Altadena, and Redondo Beach, with others as far as Costa Mesa and Simi Valley. EverJewish has compiled detailed pages from the public websites of ten of these cemeteries, though none have yet directly confirmed their information with EverJewish.
Availability has not yet been confirmed for any of the 24 cemeteries in this region. Families should contact cemetery offices directly to verify current plot availability, sections, and procedures. Some cemeteries carry congregational affiliations. The region also has three Jewish funeral homes documented, including Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries and Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles, and Malinow and Silverman Mortuary in Covina.
Cemetery offices are welcome to confirm or update their details with EverJewish at no cost, helping families find accurate information during difficult times. Because documentation remains incomplete across the region, families are encouraged to reach out directly to cemeteries to confirm what they need and to explore all options that may serve them.
