Flower and Visitor Guidelines
Visiting Our Parks
Our Parks are open every day of the week, with the exception of Saturday, which we observe as a day of rest and spiritual rejuvenation in accordance with the tradition of Shabbat.
We also close our Parks on the first (and seventh when applicable) days of the major Jewish Holidays. View our holiday hours.
To ensure that all visitors have a meaningful and respectful experience, we kindly ask that you review the following guidelines before your visit. These practices help us maintain the peace, dignity, and beauty of our grounds for everyone.
Flowers and Decor
We Welcome
- Fresh cut flowers
- Jerusalem Stones
- Windmills under 18″ in height
- American and Israeli Flags (will be removed one week after patriotic/holiday event)
- A maximum of (3) combined items per gravesite excluding Jerusalem Stones
For Safety Reasons We Cannot Allow
- Potted plants of any size
Unfortunately pots at a gravesite can inadvertently cause damage to tablets. We offer small lawn vases that can be used for repotting, to ensure that your floral tributes are safe and secure while preserving the integrity of your loved one’s memorial. With this solution, you can honor your loved one without worrying about damage.
- Artificial flowers
Artificial flowers with wire stems may seem harmless, but they can pose a risk to cemetery workers. Those wires can cause cuts and scratches, making the work of maintaining the grounds more difficult and hazardous.
- Large rocks, shells, and other materials around and/or on top of tablets
- Placement of any décor items on or around tablets
- Windchimes or any hanging decorations in trees
- Glass of any kind is never permitted on the premises
