?Which Jewish funeral homes serve Ann Arbor?▼

A Jewish funeral home arranges the tahara, a shomer and the burial with the cemetery and the rabbi; call the funeral home first, not the cemetery.
?What does a Jewish burial plot cost near Ann Arbor?▼
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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor?▼
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.
?What are the Jewish cemeteries in Ann Arbor?▼
Three cemeteries in Ann Arbor serve Jewish burials: Forest Hill Cemetery, Washtenong Memorial Park, and Arborcrest Memorial Park. Forest Hill offers documented pricing ($395–$2,500 for ground burial depending on section). The other two do not publish prices and direct inquiries to Family Service Counselors.
