On EverJewish you tell the Jewish cemeteries near Troy 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 Troy?▼

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.

Three documented sections operate within Elmwood Hill Cemetery in Troy: B'nai Sholom (open to congregation members and non-members), Congregation Berith Sholom, and Temple Beth El. Contact these directly for current availability and eligibility requirements.
