Interments

For the published fee, JCGC will provide the following for a standard earth interment burial service, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m:

  • Opening of the selected gravesite.
  • Preparation of the gravesite:
    • Placement of greens (carpet) around the grave (if requested) and covering the dirt mound.
    • Assistance to the vault company in the placement of the vault.
    • Placement of the casket-lowering device, up to 6 chairs and other site preparations.
    • Up to one hour at the graveside after arrival of the congregants.
  • Assistance to the Funeral Director and the Rabbi.
  • At the conclusion of the service, JCGC staff will place the vault into the grave, close the grave, and at the appropriate time, replace the sod or plant grass seed, restoring the surrounding gravesites to a reasonable condition. JCGC staff will maintain the grave throughout the year.
  • The placement of a temporary marker with the deceased’s name and burial date for up to a period of one year.

Additional fees will be charged (a) when the funeral procession arrives at the cemetery after 3:00 p.m. or for services on a Sunday or civil holiday, or (b) for time, materials and service beyond the above standard interment services. Fees will be based on the man-hours involved at the current labor rate. Reimbursement for rental or purchase of equipment and/or supplies will be based upon the actual cost to JCGC.

No burials shall take place on Shabbat, and certain Jewish Holidays, except in the case of contagious disease, when health regulations so require. See the Religous Policies for the applicable Holidays.

A decedent who is affiliated and in good standing with a Jewish Congregation shall be eligible for a discount from the published fee, as shall anyone not affiliated with a Jewish Congregation who is under 25 years of age.

For those cemeteries that permit earth cremation interments, JCGC will provide the same range of services at the published fee plus any applicable additional fees less any applicable discount as outlined in the preceding paragraphs.

    We are thrilled to share that JCGC Board Member Marlene Ostrow was honored with the Mesel Wieder Mensch Award at the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati Sustainers event on Wednesday. You might know Marlene as a dedicated volunteer who serves as the Chair of JCGC's Create Your Jewish Legacy Team, former Co-Chair of the Chestnut Street Committee, and as a member of the JCGC Executive Committee, Marketing Committee, and 200th Committee. This is all in addition to the volunteer work she does with many area organizations. Marlene is a “doer” who gets things done and leads by example. We are grateful to have her talents on the JCGC Board. Join us in giving Marlene a big “mazel tov!”The Mesel Wieder Mensch Award was established in 1999. The award recognizes a member of the Cincinnati Jewish Community who personifies the meaning of the Yiddish word “Mensch.” A mensch is someone who is sensitive and cares about other human beings and is concerned about and works for the Jewish community. They do this without fanfare or any expectation of public recognition.Pictured: Marlene Ostrow, JCGC Board Member, and David Harris, Executive Director of JCGC#JewishCemeteries ... See MoreSee Less
