The nearest others are Mt. Olive Cemetery in Solon (23 miles), Zion Memorial Park in Bedford (23 miles), Independent Mizreicher Association Cemetery in Parma (25 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Akron are selling plots?▼
One is documented as selling plots to the public: Zion Memorial Park in Bedford. Availability changes; each listing says what its office has confirmed and when.
?What does a Jewish burial plot cost near Akron?▼
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 Akron 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 Akron?▼
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.
?What if Akron cemeteries can't accommodate us?▼
Mt. Olive Cemetery in Solon (22 miles) serves local synagogues and associations. Bet Olam Cemetery in Beachwood (27 miles) serves several congregations in Northeast Ohio. Multiple options exist in Cleveland (29 miles). Ask which best fits your affiliation.
?Does Glendale Cemetery publish prices?▼
No. Glendale does not publish prices online. Call the office at 330-253-9349 (Mon–Fri 9am–3pm) or fax to discuss fees directly.
?How far is the nearest Jewish cemetery outside Akron?▼
Mt. Olive Cemetery in Solon is 22 miles away and serves local synagogues and associations. If that doesn't fit your needs, Bet Olam Cemetery in Beachwood (27 miles) is another option.
