?What should a family confirm before choosing a Jewish cemetery near Jersey City?▼
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.
?Is there a Jewish cemetery in Jersey City itself?▼
Yes—Bayview-New York Bay Cemetery is located in Jersey City. You can reach them through their website (Weebly site with contact page) to inquire about availability and eligibility.
