Where and Who

  • The CCCCS is located in section "S", Row "I" - the very first section on the right coming from the main entrance.
  • In order to be eligible for a plot at the CCCCS, one needs to be a member in good standing with the Chai Centre.
  • Plots are not sold but rather, members have a right to a plot in the section to be designated by the Rabbi.
  • An annual membership renewal must be kept up to date. Should a membership lapse, the right to a plot will be removed.
  • In order to be considered for burial in the CCCCS, the individual must be considered Jewish by Orthodox Jewish Law. This means that the person's mother must be confirmed as Jewish or has converted by Orthodox Jewish Law. The Rabbi will be responsible to confirm the above.

Transfers and Refunds

  • Plots are non-transferable and non-assignable.
  • All monies paid are non-refundable.
  • All plots and burials are further subject to the by-laws of Pardes Chaim Cemetery.

The Burial

  • No concrete burial vaults or liners may be used in any cemetery section of the CCCCS.
  • The date, time and plot of every burial will be approved by the Rabbi.
  • The Rabbi or his designate shall officiate at all services, including funerals and unveilings.

Monuments

  • All monuments must comply with cemetery rules, and the Rabbi shall approve the inscriptions and images for all monuments prior to installation. It is advisable to have the Rabbi involved in the preparation of the monument, as the Rabbi has the final approval on all monuments.
  • No pictures, emblems or depictions of any sort are allowed.
  • All monuments must have the deceased person's name in Hebrew, as well as the Yahrtzeit date in Hebrew.
  • Only full-size upright monuments are allowed. Markers are not permitted.
  • All monuments shall be individual singles. No double monuments.

The Rabbi's Role

  • The Rabbi has the final say on the acceptance and designation to the CCCCS for burial of any individual. The Burial Committee will always operate under the direction and guidance of the Rabbi.
As the above is a partial list and may be amended from time to time, please contact the Rabbi if you have any other questions or require further clarification.

Reserve a Burial Plot

$6,300.00 Three years, paid upfront

Plots are not sold. Eligibility comes through membership — a Platinum membership includes a burial plot after three years. Please refer to our membership page.

However, if you need a plot right away, the equivalent of three years of Platinum membership can be paid upfront, which makes a plot available immediately.

All reservations are subject to the final approval of the Chai Centre Rabbi.
