Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol Cemetery has initiated major new construction and beautification of its grounds that will help make visits to the cemetery at 9125 Ladue Road aesthetically and spiritually more satisfying.

An old garage on the property, which housed groundskeeping equipment, has already been razed. Ground has been broken on a new, approximately 2,400 square foot building that will replace the garage and current office building. When completed in late 2023, the existing office will be torn down.

The renovations will include improvements to the parking area fronting the cemetery on Ladue Road and to the interior roads and walkways. New landscaping is also envisioned.

Another feature of the changes will be a computerized database enabling visitors to find grave locations readily. Grave locations will also be available on a new website for the cemtery.

With generous support of the Jewish community, all of this is possible.
