Our Cemetery
Our Cemetery
More than 60 years ago, when Beth El’s founders were establishing our cemetery, they envisioned a place of honor and dignity to the deceased and a source of comfort to visitors. Over those years, Beth El has worked very hard to live up to our founders’ dreams.

To ensure that our cemetery maintains the beauty that our founders intended, Beth El Cemetery By-laws and Rules and Regulations set out standards for monuments, footstones and decorations as well as who may be buried in a multi-grave plot.
Members receive a discounted price on both graves and burial fees. Please contact the Beth El office at (860) 233-9696 for pricing information. We are happy to meet with you at the synagogue and/or visit the cemetery with you to discuss your needs. Please contact Beth El Executive Director Rabbi Howard Sowalsky (phone number above) or hsowalsky@bethelwh.org or Cemetery Committee Chair Lois Koteen at cemetery@bethelwh.org.
