Yes — one is documented in Petaluma: B'nai Israel Cemetery. The nearest others are Community Jewish Cemetery in Novato (11 miles), Valley Memorial Park in Novato (11 miles), Ner Shalom Progressive Cemetery in Sebastopol (15 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Petaluma are selling plots?▼

?What does a Jewish burial plot cost near Petaluma?▼
Cemeteries rarely publish prices, and a grave is several lines — the plot, opening and closing, perpetual care, the monument and its setting — that differ by section and by membership. On EverJewish you tell the Jewish cemeteries near Petaluma once what you're looking for and each answers you with its own availability, requirements and prices; no calls until you're ready.
?What should a family confirm before choosing a Jewish cemetery near Petaluma?▼
Whether plots are available now and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including a non-Jewish spouse and section rules; the total cost in writing; the cemetery's rules for the monument; and which funeral homes it works with. Jewish funerals are not held on Shabbat or festivals, and customs vary between communities — the family's rabbi decides what is right for them.
