One of the benefits of membership in Temple Hesed is the right to purchase a plot in the temple cemetery.

The cemetery is located in Dunmore Borough, adjacent to the historic Dunmore Cemetery.

If you have not done so, you may purchase plots for yourself and your family.

While only members may purchase plots, if you have a Jewish relative or close Jewish friend, that person may be buried in the cemetery if you purchase the plot.

Non-Jewish spouses(of members) can be buried in our cemetery. Ours is the only Jewish cemetery in Lackawanna County where this can be done.

Buying a plot now will avoid any cost increases in the future. It is also a part of smart estate planning.

For more information or to meet with a member of the cemetery committee, contact Joel Shapiro or call the Temple office at 570-344-7201.
