COVID-19 Cemetery Policies

Updated: March 23, 2021

Effective immediately, the Schara Tzedeck Cemetery Board is implementing the following COVID-19 risk management mitigation protocols:

  1. It is mandatory to wear a mask and socially distance at all times during attending a funeral or unveiling at Schara Tzedeck Cemetery.
  2. Unveiling scheduling has now reopened. Please confirm the latest restrictions on gatherings with us before making arrangements.
  3. All those attending a funeral must pre-register for funeral attendance; a link to this form can be found on the pink banner at the top of our home page. As usual, please wear a mask and practise social distancing. Stay at home if you are unwell.
  4. Visiting the cemetery for reasons other than a burial are permitted at this time (subject to change) but all visitors are expected to maintain a respectful and appropriate distance from others on the property.
  5. If you are visiting the cemetery, and you are in need of using the washroom, please locate a staff member who will unlock the building for you. If at all possible, take steps before leaving home to reduce the likelihood of needing to use the washroom at the cemetery.
  6. These policies change from time to time: please contact us for the latest information.

These policies and procedures are in effect at all our cemetery locations, specifically:

  • NEW WESTMINSTER CEMETERY, 2345 Marine Drive, New Westminster BC
  • SURREY CEMETERY, 16656 – 60th Avenue, Surrey BC
  • MOUNTAIN VIEW CEMETERY – Jewish Section, Fraser Street & near 33rd Avenue, Vancouver BC

With G-d’s help, and our commitment to these and other protocols we are all being asked to follow, we hope to resume normal operations quickly.

Executive Director
