New "Space-Saving" Graves in Jerusalem

Today my husband and I attended the funeral of a dear friend in the Givat Shaul Har Menuchot Cemetery, Jerusalem. After the ceremony in the "eulogy hall," we were driven the winding way among fields of graves to her burial spot.

That's when things got interesting. She's in a new section, and that section doesn't have graves spread out on the hilly, stony Jerusalem hillside. Three levels of graves are stacked on the side of a mountain.


I had never seen such a thing before, thought I had heard that it's being done.

Israel is a small country, and many cemeteries are full and looking for ways to save space.

What do you think?
