Common questions about Jewish burial in Paramus

?Is there a Jewish cemetery in Paramus, NJ?▼

The nearest others are Fair Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Fair Lawn (3 miles), Riverside Cemetery in Saddle Brook (3 miles), Paterson Workmen's Benefit Association Cemetery in Elmwood Park (4 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Paramus 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.
?Which Jewish funeral homes serve Paramus?▼
3 Jewish funeral homes are documented serving Paramus: Wien & Wien Inc. Memorial Chapel in Hackensack (4 miles); Eden Memorial Chapels in Fort Lee (8 miles); Menorah Chapels at Millburn in Union (20 miles). 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 Paramus?▼
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 Paramus 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 Paramus?▼
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.
?Are there Jewish burial options actually in Paramus, or do I need to go to another town?▼
Two cemeteries are in Paramus: Cedar Park Cemetery and George Washington Memorial Park. Both accept Jewish burials. If you want additional options, Saddle Brook (3 miles) and Fair Lawn (3 miles) are nearby.
?What do graves cost at the Paramus cemeteries?▼
George Washington Memorial Park publishes prices: graves $5,800–$7,200; crypts $8,100; niches $2,600. A one-year interest-free payment plan is available with 10% down. Cedar Park Cemetery's pricing is not documented — contact the cemetery directly.
?Is there a Jewish funeral home in Paramus?▼
Sixteen funeral homes are documented as nearby, but the records do not specify which, if any, are in Paramus or their religious affiliation. Ask your cemetery or contact local funeral homes directly.
