Cardiff (Ely) Cemetery, Cowbridge Road West, Cardiff, WALES. 865 burials total.
"In the early 1960s, it became apparent that the original Orthodox Jewish cemetery in Highfield Road, Roath Park was not large enough to accommodate the needs of the growing Cardiff United Synagogue (CUS) congregation which reached its peak of approximately 3,800 individuals in about 1968.
A piece of land on Greenfarm Road, Ely, Cardiff (adjoining the civic Western Cemetery at Cowbridge Road, Ely) was purchased by CUS and consecrated as the second (or New) Orthodox Jewish Cemetery in 1968, since when it has been in use.
