History
Beth El Synagogue bought land for the cemetery in 1927, and the cemetery was opened in 1939.
The cemetery is part of the Conservative community of Omaha. It is a medium-sized cemetery that is situated on three acres.
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]
