Cemetery Description:

Ahavas Sholem Cemetery, West side of Witmer Rd, south of Pennsylvania Ave., Niagara (Town of), NY, USA. 100 burials total.

The cemetery is adjacent to the Witmer Cemetery, for which a sign is placed near Witmer Road. Both are set VERY far back from Witmer Road and may not be noticed if driving rapidly on Witmer. There is no office for either cemetery. Access is from Witmer onto a gravel road (Pennsylvania Ave) that runs toward the west from Witmer but has no street sign to identify it. The gates to Ahavas Sholem are always locked. Keys are held by the owners of grave plots. For access, contact the Official Historian of the Town of Niagara, NY (NOT the City of Niagara Falls.) Contact should be made well in advance as Historian is a part-time position usually filled by a volunteer. Coordinates - 43.126945438029225 N and -79.02787728529415 W
