EverJewish documents 9 Jewish cemeteries in Lehigh County and Northampton County and Berks County, across 6 towns — 2 standalone Jewish cemeteries and 2 Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. The nearest towns are Allentown, Whitehall, Wyomissing, Bethlehem.
No cemetery in this region has yet documented public plot sales on EverJewish. Most pages still say "details not yet confirmed" — call the office, and ask about membership as a path in.
Often within a day or two. What sets the timing: the cemetery's schedule, Shabbat and Jewish holidays (Jewish cemeteries generally don't hold burials then), the death certificate and burial permit, and family who need to travel. Waiting for close family is common. The funeral home will tell you the earliest time that works.
Whether plots are currently available and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including interfaith and section rules; costs in writing — plot, opening and closing, perpetual care, monument; and which funeral home the cemetery works with. Every cemetery on EverJewish can be asked directly from its page, and questions marked "planning ahead" carry no urgency.
Settle it now, so your children never have to guess.
A place you chose, near the people you love, with the details settled and written down. You'll be the one who took care of it, so your family won't have to.
Ask the cemeteries near meEverJewish documents nine Jewish cemeteries within 35 miles of Allentown and Reading, spread across six towns in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Two are standalone Jewish cemeteries, and two are Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. The nearest options are in Allentown and Whitehall, each 14 miles from the center of the region, with additional cemeteries in Wyomissing, Bethlehem, Shillington, and Easton. Several of the cemeteries have congregational affiliations.
No cemetery in this region has yet confirmed with EverJewish whether plots are currently available, so families should contact each cemetery office directly to ask about openings, costs, and any membership or affiliation requirements. For three of the nine cemeteries, EverJewish has compiled detailed pages based on information published on the cemetery's own public website, which can help families learn more before reaching out.
Cemetery offices are welcome to confirm their details with EverJewish at no cost, so families can find accurate information during a difficult time. Because availability has not been confirmed for any of the documented cemeteries, calling ahead remains an important first step. The directory provides contact information and maps to help families connect with each cemetery and understand their options across the Lehigh Valley and Reading area.
EverJewish is an independent reference documenting Jewish funeral homes and cemeteries in the United States. Free for families. Every Jewish cemetery is listed, and no one can pay to rank (how we're funded). We never sell family information.
