Plots and Monuments
Information on purchasing burial plots and arranging monuments.
Burial Plots
Because we are a small volunteer organization, we do not provide on-site burial services. All funeral arrangements must be made through a licensed funeral home. The funeral home should contact us when they have the necessary information.
Plots are assigned by the association and are not transferrable without contacting us first. If you are interested in buying a plot, please contact us using the form below.
The cost of the plot is the only expense with the association; there are no extra expenses for perpetual care.
In the cemeteries that allow cremated remains, a full size plot must be purchased and the burial must be made by a licensed excavator.
Cemetery availability:Sharis Israel (no new reservations), Farband (Waterbury) (no new reservations), Melchi Zedek (limited space).
Monuments
Monuments (headstones and footstones) must be contracted with a licensed monument company. Because of size limitations the monument company must contact us in advance to ascertain if the size is suitable.
Monuments are not permitted to display non-Jewish religious symbols but can have secular symbols (i.e, Freemason symbol).
For military footstones please contact the Department of Veterans Affairs.
