Cemetery

Temple Beth Sholom is the owner of the only Jewish cemetery in the Sarasota-Manatee County area. It was established in 1932 and has served families of our congregation for many years. Jewish non-members of the Sarasota-Manatee community are welcome to be buried in the cemetery as well. The cemetery sits on 8.4 acres and provides a serene and peaceful final resting place.

The cemetery is located on Circus Boulevard, east of Beneva Road and north of Fruitville Road in Sarasota. It is possible to choose from single graves to multiple grave family plots as suits your family planning.  Wide roads give lot owners and visitors easy access to all lots. The cemetery’s maintenance, beautification and perpetual care are paid for through donations and the sale of plots. Volunteers who operate the cemetery have dedicated themselves to serving the congregation and the community with dignity and compassion.

  It is important to look to the future and plan ahead. It is wise to make your selection of a final resting place in a leisurely and unstressful situation. It is a supreme kindness to spare loved ones the added burden of this decision when the events demand hurried action under the strain of a deeply emotional time. By making your selection prior to need, you will have the opportunity to make a selection alone or with your family. This allows you to have a harmonious decision reached by you and your loved ones.

If you need additional information or are interested in purchasing a plot, please contact Helene Kaufman at (941) 377-4309. For directions, please call the Temple Beth Sholom Main Office at (941) 955-8121.

The cemetery is located at 801 Circus Blvd. Sarasota, FL 34232
