Opened in 1928, Mt. Ararat Cemetery has been a fixture in the Jewish community. Despite its suburban location, Mount Ararat Cemetery has created a peaceful and reflective environment.
Rather than organizing burial plots by organization, as is the custom in most Jewish cemeteries, Mt. Ararat Cemetery is divided into family plots. This means that any Jewish individual can inquire about plots, and they are not restricted to those who are and have been members of these organizations.
In order to cultivate this contemplative and spiritual atmosphere, Mount Ararat Cemetery makes a concerted effort to maintain its grounds. The staff routinely cut the grass in order to improve the appearance of each memorial. Additionally, the memorial gardens located throughout the cemetery contribute to the rustic nature of the area.
Located in Lindenhurst, the Mt. Ararat Cemetery is situated on Farmingdale Road, off of Exit 33 on the Southern State Parkway.
