A Jewish funeral home arranges the tahara, a shomer and the burial in keeping with Jewish tradition, and works with the cemetery and the rabbi. Customs vary between families and communities. Ask any home for its General Price List; each keeps its own number.
The Jewish cemeteries in this guide nearest each town, closest first (straight-line miles). Where a family can be buried depends on who holds the plot, so confirm with the cemetery's office.

EverJewish documents 10 Jewish cemeteries within about 35 miles of central St. Louis, across 4 towns — 4 standalone Jewish cemeteries and 1 Jewish section within larger cemeteries. The nearest towns are St. Louis, Affton, Chesterfield, St. Charles.
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.
2 Jewish funeral homes are documented in the region: Berger Memorial Chapel in St. Louis; Rindskopf-Roth Funeral Chapel in St. Louis. Each page lists what is documented about tahara, shomer, Shabbat and holiday practice, and what remains an open question.
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.
Tell us once what you're looking for — how many plots, which section, your timeframe — and the Jewish cemeteries near you answer on EverJewish: availability, what's required, and pricing with payment plans. Offices that have joined answer in their own words; for the rest, your page shows what is on record and their number. No calls until you choose.
Greater St. Louis has ten documented Jewish cemeteries within 35 miles of the city, located across Missouri and Illinois. Most are in St. Louis itself, with others in Affton, Chesterfield, and St. Charles. Four are standalone Jewish cemeteries, and one is a Jewish section within a larger cemetery. EverJewish has compiled detailed pages from the public websites of four of these cemeteries, though none have yet directly confirmed their information with EverJewish. The documented cemeteries include both congregational cemeteries and those maintained by burial societies.
Because availability has not yet been confirmed for any of the ten cemeteries in this guide, families should contact the cemetery offices directly to ask about open plots, visiting hours, and burial requirements. Each cemetery sets its own policies regarding who may be buried there, documentation needed, and monument guidelines.
Cemetery offices are welcome to confirm their details with EverJewish at no cost, helping families find accurate information during a difficult time. When you reach out to a cemetery, it may be helpful to ask about their religious requirements, whether they have space available, and what services they coordinate. Some families also find it useful to visit in person when making decisions about burial arrangements.
EverJewish is an independent reference documenting Jewish funeral homes and cemeteries in the United States. Free for families; the record is never for sale. No rankings, no paid placement (how we're funded). We never sell family information.
