| Cemetery Description: |
Seattle Sephardic Brotherhood - Ahavath Ahim Cemetery, SHORELINE, WA, USA. 75 burials total.
The Seattle Sephardic Brotherhood grew out of the desire for all the Sephardic Shuls to have a community wide cemetery in the 1930's. The Brotherhood kept the Shalom Alehem's medical program, the cemetery, and supported the Sephardic youth activities. The Brotherhood had about 250 members, and its main functions were the providing of medical services, burial services, and helping the needy.
Today the members of the Seattle Sephardic Brotherhood continue to provide cemetery and burial services and perpetual care.
