"And Ruth said, ... wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your God my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried." (Ruth 1:16)
We announce to you, the opening of the community Jewish cemetery.
It will follow the standards of traditional Judaism.
This new section is part of the Mt. Tamalpais cemetery & Mortuary at 2500 5th St. San Rafael.
We were very careful to choose a section that is on flat ground, so that it can be accessed year round with easy by family members.
The section is surrounded by trees and nature.
The name of the section is Beth Hachaim.
The cemetery allows for green burials too.
To purchase plots you can call the cemetery directly at 415-459-2500.
They will be dealing with the financials of this.
You are welcome to call me with any questions. My cell is 415-312-8385.
The purchase of plots is done directly with the cemetery.
But please let us know if you are considering purchasing plots. So we can help you along the way.
I pray that you be blessed with long life and that this investment is one that you buy now and never use!
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried."
