Jewish Memorials

Foot stones and monuments are an important part of Jewish burial traditions. They serve as markers for the graves of loved ones and are often inscribed with meaningful messages or symbols that reflect the person’s life and legacy. The foot stone, also known as the grave marker, is typically placed at the foot of the grave and may contain the person’s name, dates of birth and death, and other identifying information. Monuments are larger, upright headstones that may include engravings or sculptures, and also commemorate the deceased and honor their memory. Jewish foot stones and monuments play an important role in preserving the memory of those who have passed on and provide a way for future generations to connect with their heritage.
