WHAT'S HAPPENING AT CHESED SHEL EMETH AND BETH SHALOM CEMETERIES

This has been a busy year and we’d like to update you on the happenings at Chesed Shel Emeth Society and Beth Shalom Cemetery.


At our University City location, we have been working on an historical review of everyone buried. 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. 


At our Chesterfield location, we are moving forward with The Chesed Shel Emeth Memorial Garden. The first phase has begun and you can see some of the contouring of the area. Once completed we will create the path. Spring clean up will start soon and we will begin beautifying both our locations. 


Now for news about Beth Shalom Cemetery located within Chesed Shel Emeth in Chesterfield. Our expansion project is complete and we have opened Section 7A with modified rules and regulations to better serve the entire Jewish community. Go to www.bethshalomcemetery.com to view our new rules and regulations which apply to this new section.


It has been a full year filled with opportunities for volunteerism, education, reflection and charity. Check our websites for information on our cemeteries and resources for your genealogy projects. 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.


Wishing you and your loved ones  blessings, many joyful events and prosperity.


All the best,


Anita Feigenbaum
