EverJewish documents 13 Jewish cemeteries within about 35 miles of central Lakewood, across 11 towns — 7 standalone Jewish cemeteries and 3 Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. The nearest towns are Lakewood, Robertsville, Long Branch, East Brunswick.
No cemetery in this region has yet documented public plot sales on EverJewish. Most pages still say "details not yet confirmed" — call the office, and ask about membership as a path in.
Often within a day or two. What sets the timing: the cemetery's schedule, Shabbat and Jewish holidays (Jewish cemeteries generally don't hold burials then), the death certificate and burial permit, and family who need to travel. Waiting for close family is common. The funeral home will tell you the earliest time that works.
3 Jewish funeral homes are documented in the region: Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Funeral Chapels (Lakewood) in Lakewood; Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Chapels (Ocean) in Ocean Township; Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Chapels (Manalapan) in Manalapan. Each page lists what is documented about tahara, shomer, Shabbat and holiday practice, and what remains an open question.
Whether plots are currently available and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including interfaith and section rules; costs in writing — plot, opening and closing, perpetual care, monument; and which funeral home the cemetery works with. Every cemetery on EverJewish can be asked directly from its page, and questions marked "planning ahead" carry no urgency.
Tell us once what you're looking for — how many plots, which section, your timeframe — and the Jewish cemeteries near you answer on EverJewish: availability, what's required, and pricing with payment plans. Offices that have joined answer in their own words; for the rest, your page shows what is on record and their number. No calls until you choose.
EverJewish documents 13 Jewish cemeteries within 35 miles of Lakewood, New Jersey, spread across 11 towns in central New Jersey. The closest cemetery is in Lakewood itself, one mile from the city center. Others are in Robertsville and Long Branch (both 17 miles away), East Brunswick (25 miles), Monmouth Junction (27 miles), and towns extending to South Plainfield at the 35‑mile edge. Seven are standalone Jewish cemeteries, and three are Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. Affiliations documented so far include congregational and Conservative. Three Jewish funeral homes serve the area, all part of the Bloomfield‑Cooper network in Lakewood, Ocean Township, and Manalapan.
EverJewish compiled detailed pages for six of these cemeteries from their own public websites. Availability has not yet been confirmed for all 13 cemeteries, so families should contact each cemetery office directly to ask whether plots are open, what sections or affiliations are offered, and any requirements for burial. Cemetery offices are welcome to confirm their details with EverJewish at no cost.
This reference is a starting point. Because no cemetery in this region has yet confirmed its information directly with EverJewish, families should verify every detail—location, hours, religious practices, and availability—with the cemetery before making plans. The pages note what is documented from public sources and what still needs confirmation.
