Access the cemetery database
Burial information was gathered from synagogues, individuals and funeral homes. While many cemeteries, synagogues and individuals were helpful in allowing access to their records, old, damaged, incomplete, or missing records made the task of compiling information a challenge.
As a result, we know that there are missing burials from the database that we were not able to gather. If you have information to share or corrections please visit “Contact Us” and send us your information.
