The uniquely beautiful Temple Israel Cemetery is a place of solace, comfort, and private reflection for congregants and their families. It is a place to mourn those we love and to honor the traditions which keep their memory sacred.

Located in Wakefield, Massachusetts, the Temple Israel Cemetery was created as part of the American Garden Cemetery Movement. Its peaceful and tranquil natural environment offers spiritual renewal to all who visit.

Temple Israel Cemetery is also a place of communal memory, preserving more than 160 years of rich history in a lakeside setting of dignity and natural beauty. Established in 1859, five years after Temple Israel’s founding, it is a significant part of the life cycle of the congregation’s families.
