Common questions about Jewish burial in Richfield

?Is there a Jewish cemetery in Richfield, MN?▼
Yes — 2 are documented in Richfield: B'nai Emet Cemetery; Gemelus Chesed Cemetery. The nearest others are Adath Yeshurun Cemetery in Edina (4 miles), Temple Israel Memorial Park in Minneapolis (6 miles), Lebanon Cemetery in Apple Valley (10 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Richfield are selling plots?▼
None of the cemeteries on this page has yet confirmed public plot sales with EverJewish. Most listings still read "details not yet confirmed" — ask the cemeteries from this page and their answers come to you.
?What does a Jewish burial plot cost near Richfield?▼
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 Richfield 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 Richfield?▼
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 does eligibility mean at these cemeteries?▼
Gemelus Chesed is open to all Jewish burial, Orthodox or traditional. B'nai Emet's eligibility is not documented here. Most Twin Cities Jewish cemeteries require that the deceased be Jewish by birth or accredited conversion; some accept interfaith family members in separate sections.
?Can I bury a non-Jewish family member?▼
Most Jewish cemeteries restrict burial to Jewish individuals. Sons of Jacob (St. Paul) established a separate Children of Abraham section in 2018 for non-Jewish family members. Ask the specific cemetery about their policy.
?What rules apply to monuments and markers?▼
Requirements vary. Adath Yeshurun requires cemetery approval and specifications with a foundation. Adas Israel notes flowerbeds are not appropriate during mourning. Always contact the cemetery before ordering any marker or memorial.
