“With your help we are restoring dignity to our ancestors’ cemeteries, honoring their contributions, and setting a good example of stewardship for future generations.”

The Greater Trenton Jewish Cemetery Project

See more about their work here and consider making a contribution to this important project to honor the ancestors of our Jewish Community.

As the long-serving Jewish funeral home of the Trenton Jewish Community, we are proud to support this project. Years in the making, it takes a methodical approach:

“using a step-by-step approach to make sure that our ancestors’ resting places are respected and maintained.

The highest priority is given to those gravesites that are damaged — some graves have sunken, some stones have toppled, some are broken, some are badly stained. Many graves have been undermined by tree roots and excessive shrubbery, along with widespread overgrowth of vines, bushes and grasses.

Security is another priority that has taken considerable attention and resources. We have replaced all of the dilapidated fencing at the Pitman Cluster, and plan to do the same at the People of Truth cemetery on Cedar Lane.

Safety is important as well; we have replaced many walkways, with more access improvements planned. And new, modern and uniform signage makes it easier for visitors to locate the cemeteries, including the five adjacent properties that comprise the Pitman Cluster.

Finally, ongoing maintenance is contracted to bonded, local landscapers who respectfully go about the business of assuring that our grounds are presentable year-round.”
