Description: Charged with the upkeep and maintenance of Hebrew Rest cemeteries in Gentilly and Dispersed of Judah Cemetery on Canal Street, New Orleans.
The Association is governed by twelve members of a Board of Commissioners , six elected by each of the two congregations.
While the cemeteries are primarily for use by members of the two congregations, burial is also available to members of the broader Jewish community in accordance with the Rules and Regulations as established by the Board.

The Association’s cemeteries are served by all area funeral homes. In a time of need, or to make pre-need arrangements, please feel free to contact Clifford Kern , our Executive Director or ask your funeral director to contact him.
