The setting of a tombstone or woodland plaque and related costs are the responsibility of the family. All arrangements are made in conjunction with the synagogue, rabbi and JJBS office. Stone settings on Sundays are very popular, so advance planning is essential. A list of licensed stonemasons is available from the Sexton’s office, who will approve the wording on the tombstone. Please contact the office on 020 8989 5252 for guidance.
It is the responsibility of the family to ensure that the stone is kept clean and in good order. The maintenance of the cemetery does not cover maintenance, repair, vandalism or re-setting of tombstones. If an adjacent plot is reserved it will be kept until it is required. Where a second person is buried in an existing plot (double depth burial) the same process of settling and replanting (at the family’s expense) will occur.
