History

Beth El Synagogue bought land for the cemetery in 1927, and the cemetery was opened in 1939. [2]

The cemetery is part of the Conservative community of Omaha. It is a medium-sized cemetery that is situated on three acres. [4]

In May 1999, the Etta and Harold Epstein Family Chapel of Remembrance was dedicated on the grounds, enabling congregants to hold indoor services at the cemetery. [4]
