Members of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim have the privilege of reserving plots in the Shaar Hashomayim Cemetery. Members under the age of 65 who wish to reserve plots can lock in the current rate and pay in 10 equal installments over 10 years.

Please contact the cemetery office for more details and to initiate this request.

The placement of a monument and/or footstone can be arranged at any time after burial, and traditionally should be placed before the first anniversary of passing. A minimum six-week period will be required to arrange for the selection, ordering, engraving, and delivery of a monument and/or footstone. Once the monument is ordered, the monument maker will coordinate with Yosi Even-Hen, Ritual Director, for verification of the Hebrew text, as well as with the cemetery office to schedule the placement of the monument foundation and the installation.

Please contact the Rabbi’s office at 514.937.9474 ext. 143 once you have made arrangements with the monument maker. He will coordinate the unveiling schedule with both clergy and cemetery staff. Please note that only scheduled unveilings will have the monument covered in preparation for the unveiling ceremony.
