The Chevra Kaddisha (Burial Society) for the Jewish community in Bristol was founded in 1743. It is a registered charity and operates independently of the Bristol Hebrew Congregation and Park Row Synagogue.

Its members work in a voluntary capacity to ensure that the funeral preparation and service is in accordance with orthodox Jewish practice. The Society recognises the authority of the Chief Rabbi of Great Britain and the Commonwealth.

You do not need to be a member of any organised Jewish congregation to access burial at one of the current Jewish cemeteries. The only requirement is that the deceased is halachically Jewish. You may make arrangement for your burial by booking a plot, at any time.
