When purchasing plots, families can consult a Baltimore memorial company about cemetery requirements and memorial options, but it is not mandatory to immediately buy from the cemetery. Often, individuals own plots that they are looking to sell for various reasons, and it may be more cost-effective to purchase directly from them. Usually, local Jewish newspapers in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia will have advertisements in the classified section, so that is a good place to start. Most executive directors at their respective congregations will know the person who handles their specific cemetery, the applicable cemetery requirements, and whether any plots are available to members. If that does not work out, the cemetery will be able to provide what you require, including information about headstone cost and expected installation timelines. Once the plot and cemetery requirements are confirmed, families can begin considering memorial wording and inscription ideas.
