some is nice others are not.

Zero excuse to have dead trees all over the place absolutely horrible condition. This reminds me of old Jewish cemeteries in Poland or Hungary.

ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL

PLUS THEY CLOSE AT 1 ON SUNDAY

I have never in all my life seen such a horrible cemetery. I visited my grand parents and the rest of my Dad's family in honor of him on 10/27/23. Since he had passed 10/29/21. He is buried at Mt Aratat which looks nothing like this monstrosity. I know you have to pay to hVe it cared for but the grounds keeping is atrosish. My grandparents lookout they were just buried no grass covering thermir grave a big gopher hole. Which I almost fell into it.

I hate to write a review like this but it's a must. I went to visit my mother and noticed a make shift tent with a homeless person inside. Was so frightened and scared that I went to the police station to have a police escort back to visit my mother. The police told them, they can't stay there but went back a few months later with my rottweilers and they were still there. So every visit from then, my dogs come with me.

Nice cemetery. Visited the graves of several relatives here, from the Talansky family of Golovanevsk. The town has a whole section, and some of the graves need repair with stones falling over.

Staff is fantastic. Office helped me locate my great-grandfather’s grave, providing maps to the site and useful information about why he was buried in a specific section. Really meant a lot that they immediately got back to me and went the extra mile to assist further in person @ the main office.

You can tell they really care about, and treat, relatives with respect. Thank you.

It's a beautiful place and peaceful. The older graves intrigue me. I love to visit cemeteries and Baron Hirsh is one of my favorites

I’ve been to this cemetery since I was a little girl because our family is buried here. My dad paid for perpetual care but my folks would come to be sure it looked good regardless and that’s what you have to do with any “land” you own.

Some families don’t have that and yes the graves were overgrown but to the managers favor IDK how so many graves can be maintained unless you pay someone to do the work.
The place is rich in Jewish history. I took many pictures of the stones ( from my family).
Please help support this cemetery. I am NOT at all affiliated with BHC just a person visiting loved ones.

Big Jewish Old Cemetery. Fallen headstone seen all over lack of maintenance. Large crowds of Hasidim seen on the 3rd & 12th Iyar of the hebrew calendar to commemorate a Yahrzeit.
