Common questions about Jewish burial in Philadelphia

?Is there a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia, PA?▼
Yes — 6 are documented in Philadelphia: Adath Jeshurun Cemetery; Mt. Sinai Cemetery; Chevra Bikur Cholim Cemetery; Har Nebo Cemetery; Mikveh Israel Cemetery; Mount Carmel Cemetery. The nearest others are Crescent Burial Park in Pennsauken (5 miles), Mekom Shalom in Laurel Hill West in Bala Cynwyd (5 miles), New Camden Cemetery in Camden (5 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia?▼
5 Jewish funeral homes are documented serving Philadelphia: Goldsteins' Rosenberg's Funeral Directors Atlantic County (under a mile); Goldsteins' Rosenberg's Raphael Sacks (under a mile); Berschler and Shenberg Funeral Chapels in Ambler (11 miles); Joseph Levine & Sons Memorial Chapel in Trevose (13 miles); Schoenberg Memorial Chapel in Wilmington (28 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 Philadelphia?▼
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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia?▼
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 Jewish cemeteries are closest to Philadelphia if the city options don't work?▼
Har Jehuda Cemetery in Millbourne (9 miles, member of the Jewish Cemeteries Association of Greater Philadelphia) and Montefiore Cemetery in Jenkintown (6 miles) are the nearest. New Camden Cemetery has Jewish sections 5 miles away in Camden; contact the Jewish Community Foundation about access.
?How do I find out about plots and pricing?▼
Availability and pricing vary by cemetery. Contact the cemetery office directly—many do not publish this information online. For Adath Jeshurun, confirm you are a congregant. For cemeteries outside the city, ask whether they serve your congregation or community.
