Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Jewish cemeteries separate from general cemeteries?
Jewish law requires burial in consecrated ground set aside exclusively for Jewish burial. This ensures the sacred nature of the resting place is maintained in perpetuity.
Can non-Jewish spouses be buried in a Jewish cemetery?
This varies by cemetery. Some have interfaith sections, others may allow non-Jewish spouses in family plots.
