Common questions about Jewish burial in Columbus

?Is there a Jewish cemetery in Columbus, OH?▼
Yes — 9 are documented in Columbus: New Tifereth Israel Cemetery; Temple Garden in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens; Tikvah V'Shalom section, Green Lawn Cemetery; Beth Jacob Cemetery; New Achavat Shalom Cemetery; New Agudas Achim Cemetery; and 3 more.
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Columbus 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 Columbus?▼
One Jewish funeral home is documented serving Columbus: Hodroff-Epstein Memorial Chapels (4 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 Columbus?▼
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 Columbus 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 Columbus?▼
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 section at a large cemetery near me?▼
Yes. Temple Garden at Forest Lawn (100 acres) and Tikvah V'Shalom at Green Lawn both serve as Jewish sections. Green Lawn was specifically established to serve local congregations. Verify current plot availability and eligibility with each directly.
?What if I don't know which cemetery to contact?▼
New Tifereth Israel Cemetery is overseen by a preservation committee. Temple Garden and Tikvah V'Shalom have established operational histories. The Columbus Jewish Historical Society has mapped most facilities; contacting them or your congregation may help identify the best option for your family's needs.
?Are there Jewish burial options outside Columbus?▼
Yes. Cedar Hill Cemetery in Newark (30 miles, 113 acres) and Grandview Cemetery in Chillicothe (45 miles) are documented. Silent Home in Reynoldsburg (10 miles) does not have a dedicated Jewish section. Contact these facilities directly about eligibility.
