EverJewish documents 15 Jewish cemeteries within about 35 miles of central Washington, DC, across 9 towns — 11 standalone Jewish cemeteries and 2 Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. The nearest towns are Washington, Falls Church, Adelphi, Alexandria.
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.
3 Jewish funeral homes are documented in the region: Torchinsky Hebrew Funeral Home in Washington; Sagel Bloomfield Danzansky Goldberg Funeral Care in Rockville; Cunningham Turch Funeral Home in Alexandria. 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.
EverJewish documents 15 Jewish cemeteries within 35 miles of Washington, DC, spanning the District, Maryland, and Virginia. Eleven are standalone Jewish cemeteries, and two are Jewish sections within larger cemeteries. These sites are spread across nine towns, from three cemeteries in Washington itself (within 5 miles of the city center) to options in Falls Church, Adelphi, Alexandria, Rockville, Capitol Heights, Fairfax, Olney, and Clarksburg, the farthest at 21 miles. The cemeteries reflect a range of affiliations, including Congregational, Orthodox, and Conservative communities.
EverJewish has compiled detailed pages for five of these cemeteries from their own public websites, but none of the 15 has yet directly confirmed its details with EverJewish. Families should contact each cemetery office to confirm current plot availability, sections, and procedures. Cemetery offices are welcome to confirm or update their information with EverJewish at no cost.
The area is also served by three Jewish funeral homes: Torchinsky Hebrew Funeral Home in Washington, Sagel Bloomfield Danzansky Goldberg Funeral Care in Rockville, and Cunningham Turch Funeral Home in Alexandria. Because availability has not yet been confirmed for any of the documented cemeteries, reaching out directly to cemetery offices and funeral directors remains an essential step in planning. These pages gather what is publicly known and offer a starting point during a difficult week.
