Common questions about Jewish burial in St. Louis

?Is there a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis, MO?▼

The nearest others are New Mt. Sinai Cemetery in Affton (7 miles), Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in Chesterfield (18 miles), Beth Israel Gardens in St. Charles (18 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near St. Louis 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 St. Louis?▼
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 St. Louis 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 St. Louis?▼
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.
?Can non-Jewish spouses be buried at Jewish cemeteries in St. Louis?▼
Most cemeteries limit burials to those of Jewish faith. However, New Mt. Sinai Cemetery in Affton (7 miles away) explicitly permits non-Jewish spouses and family members. Contact individual cemeteries directly to confirm eligibility for your situation.
?Which Jewish cemetery near St. Louis has the most open eligibility?▼
United Hebrew Cemetery has no membership requirement and serves both members and non-members. Beth Israel Gardens in St. Charles (18 miles) states it "caters to Jews of all backgrounds" with no affiliation requirement. Both are options worth exploring.
?When can I visit a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis?▼
Hours vary. Chevra Kadisha is open 6 days weekly (closed Jewish holidays); Temple Israel operates Monday–Thursday 9am–5pm, Friday 9am–4pm. Other cemeteries require appointment access. Call ahead to confirm visiting hours for your chosen location.
