Mount Ararat Cemetery in Lindenhurst, NY, stands out among Long Island cemeteries because it serves exclusively Jewish families and remains privately owned, allowing no non-Jewish burials. Established in 1928, it features a park-like layout with wide lawns and tree-lined roads that create a calm, respectful atmosphere. Its exclusivity and thoughtful design make it one of the most distinguished Jewish cemeteries in New York.
Unlike most Jewish cemeteries, which organize burial plots by organization, Mt. Ararat Cemetery arranges plots by family. Any Jewish individual can inquire about a plot—they do not need to belong to a specific organization.
The staff actively maintains the grounds to preserve a contemplative and spiritual atmosphere. They cut the grass regularly to enhance the appearance of each memorial, and the memorial gardens scattered throughout the cemetery add to its rustic charm.
Located in Lindenhurst, Mt. Ararat Cemetery sits on Farmingdale Road, just off Exit 33 on the Southern State Parkway.
