CEMETERY UPDATE MAY 2021
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT CHESED SHEL EMETH AND BETH SHALOM CEMETERIES
This has been an unprecedented and unpredictable time at Chesed Shel Emeth. As we approach the summer of 2021, we’d like to update you on the happenings at Chesed Shel Emeth Society and Beth Shalom Cemetery.
At our University City location, we are working on an historical review of everyone buried at our cemetery. We hope to create a more concise mapping of grave locations to assist those visiting our cemetery. There is still much work to be done on our long term projects such as leveling and/or replacing failing sidewalks, repairing the wall on the East side of the cemetery and tree trimming and removal.
Spring cleanup has commenced and this year we were blessed with multiple volunteers from area churches at our University City Location.
At our Chesterfield location, we are continuing to move forward with The Chesed Shel Emeth Memorial Garden. The Covid pandemic slowed the process but we hope to make progress this year as the restrictions relax. Two new infrastructure projects are in the works in Chesterfield. Our front gate has started to show wear and tear from the elements. We are in the beginning planning stages for its repair. The second and more extensive project is joining the city sewer system. This is a necessary and important environmental infrastructure project that was unexpected and needs completion.
Now for news about Beth Shalom Cemetery located within Chesed Shel Emeth in Chesterfield. Beth Shalom Cemetery continues to grow and fulfill its goal and be more inclusive to our Jewish community. Visit the website www.bethshalomcemetery.com and check us out.
It has been a full year filled with opportunities for volunteerism, education, reflection and charity. Visit our Facebook page for our latest updates. Contact our office for more information on how we can serve the needs for you and your loved ones.
May you and your loved ones have a year filled with much blessings, many joyful events, prosperity and all the best,
