Common questions about Jewish burial in Pittsburgh

?Is there a Jewish cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA?▼
Yes — 21 are documented in Pittsburgh: Beth Shalom Cemetery; New Light Cemetery; Temple Sinai Memorial Park; West View Cemetery; Adath Israel Cemetery; Anshe Labovitz Cemetery; and 15 more. The nearest others are B'nai Israel Cemetery in Churchill (7 miles), Chofetz Chaim Cemetery in Turtle Creek (8 miles), Adath Jeshurun Cemetery in Allison Park (9 miles).
?Which Jewish cemeteries near Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh?▼
2 Jewish funeral homes are documented serving Pittsburgh: Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. (under a mile); McIlvaine-Speakman Funeral Home Ltd. in Houston (18 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 Pittsburgh?▼
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 Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh?▼
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.
?Do I need to be a synagogue member to be buried in a Pittsburgh Jewish cemetery?▼
No. Beth Shalom Cemetery and New Light Cemetery explicitly open plots to both members and nonmembers. Some cemeteries are congregation-affiliated but still serve the wider community. Contact the specific cemetery or the Jewish Cemetery and Burial Association (412-553-6469) to confirm eligibility.
?What is the cost of a burial plot in Pittsburgh?▼
Prices vary. New Light: $750 for nonmembers, plus $995 opening/closing and $825 perpetual care. Beth Shalom offers 10–15% promotional discounts. Temple Sinai and others don't publish prices—fees are discussed directly with their offices. Get multiple quotes.
?Does Pittsburgh have green burial options?▼
Yes. West View Cemetery has a green-burial section meeting both green standards and traditional Jewish practice. For details, contact Rabbi Sharyn Henry at 412-621-6566 ext. 126 or henry@rodefshalom.org.
