  • Since 2001, UJC has created over 2,500 burial spaces in both locations.
  • We offer various options to suit your family’s wishes:
    • Burial spaces with ground level markers
    • Burial spaces that accommodate upright monuments
    • Hedged companion estates
    • Private family estates designed to accommodate multiple family members
  • Our Mount Zion Gardens at both cemeteries are reserved for individuals desiring burial according to traditional Halachic standards.
  • Our Sinai Gardens at Restland are designed for the entire Jewish community. Inter-married couples are welcome in Sinai Gardens.
  • UJC is home to several congregations:
    • Ten Orthodox congregations recommend the Mount Zion gardens to their members
