The Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Cemetery is managed and maintained by the Hebrew Center as a consecrated ground for Jewish burials. As a Jewish Cemetery, our aim is to adhere to Jewish law while supporting families in their wishes to stay together. Burial in the Cemetery is a benefit of membership in the Hebrew Center.
Funeral services led by the Rabbi may be held for members at the Hebrew Center or graveside at the Hebrew Cemetery or another cemetery on the Island. We observe Jewish funeral customs in our sanctuary.
For detailed information about membership requirements, costs, funeral home arrangements, cremation, green burial, and gravesite options, please contact us and a member of our team will respond shortly.
When the death occurs, the family of the deceased should consult with the Rabbi. Please call the office at (508) 693-0745. If it is after hours, there will be an alternate contact number on the answering machine.
