Sale of New YIS Cemetery Section – Beth El Cemetery, Paramus, NJ
THE INITIAL YIS SECTION (TRACT 1) IS ALMOST SOLD OUT, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DISCOUNTED PRICING (DETAILS BELOW) AVAILABLE THROUGH 4/30/21 AND HAVE NOT ALREADY INQUIRED OR CONTACTED THE OFFICE, PLEASE DO SO.
Dear Friends,
Our Jewish ancestors have always sought to provide an honorable and proper burial for our loved ones. A proper burial is considered a ‘Chesed shel Emet’, a true loving kindness bestowed by the living on the departed, stemming from sincere devotion and fidelity to those we hold dear.
In keeping with this sacred Jewish value, we would like to inform you that it is now possible for members of the Young Israel of Scarsdale (YIS) community to purchase burial plots at a discounted price through the Shul. These plots are in a newly purchased YIS section of up to 200+ plots at Beth El Cemetery in Paramus, New Jersey.
For many years, YIS has had burial plots available for its members and their families in a designated section at Sharon Gardens, in Valhalla, New York. These plots were procured several decades ago, and the inventory has now been depleted. To address the needs of our growing congregation, we explored all viable cemetery options in the Connecticut, Westchester and New Jersey areas that would be able to accommodate a bulk sale to our YIS family including Kohanim.
Beth El Cemetery, which is located approximately 35 minutes from our community, was able to meet our needs. Placement of headstones is available at this cemetery.
It is a cemetery that is utilized by many Shuls such as ours and befits the respect for Halacha and dignity we seek for all of our members who seek a sanctified Kevurat Yisrael, Jewish burial.
While we understand that this may be a difficult decision to make at this time, all too often families have not planned ahead and must make decisions in the midst of their grief and stress, emotionally and financially. YIS is offering an early discounted price of $2,500 per plot during the pre-sale period which is ending on April 30, 2021 and increasing thereafter to $3,000 per plot for the foreseeable future.
We encourage you to consider purchasing your burial plots today to give you peace of mind and the following benefits:
- Relieving you or family members of the strain of last-minute burial arrangements;
- Ensuring that family members may be buried in close proximity to one another;
- Receiving an affordable price for burial plots at inception and thereby, saving money by avoiding future price increases;
How to Purchase
Please complete this Shul Cloud Form with the requested information. Once in receipt, the YIS office staff will be in touch with you on arranging the purchase and final documentation. If you wish to obtain information about Beth El Cemetery, please click on the following link Beth El Cemetery. If you have questions about burial privileges or need assistance with funeral planning before or at the time of the death of a loved one, please contact Rabbi Morgenstern (kotzkertruth@gmail.com) or Young Israel's (Executive Director) Marsha Lustig at (914) 636-8686 x101. Please note that the purchase price of a plot does not include burial opening charges, ongoing or perpetual maintenance and other cemetery imposed charges. Initially, Ben Friedman and Linda Zucker will each have authority on behalf of the Synagogue to direct the cemetery to open a grave site in time of need, and they have committed that one of them will always be available. Other and/or additional persons will be substituted or added for this purpose as the need arises.
ABOUT BETH EL CEMETERY

Jewish families from the entire New York metropolitan area have selected these cemeteries for the burial of their family members. Beth El Cemetery offers a variety of options including single graves, double graves, and family plots in a beautiful park-like setting.
