Garden of David
In support of our Jewish community, the Umpqua Valley Havurah purchased a section of a cemetery for Jewish families to purchase a burial site for themselves or family members.
Location
The Garden of David is located about 14 miles north of downtown Roseburg and about 4 miles east of Sutherlin in the Sutherlin Cemetery.
Contact Information
Plots can be purchased pre-need. For information, email: cemetery@umpquavalleyhavurah.org
Memorial Pavers
The Garden of David paver surround was dedicated on October 21, 2018.
There still are some unengraved pavers that can be purchased for $450 for one, $750 for two, and $1,000 for three. There will be an additional charge by the cemetery for engraving them. It’s a lovely way to make a remembrance, or even to have a local place to “visit” a loved one who is cremated or buried elsewhere, on the person’s yartzeit and on Yom Kippur, among other times. Sometimes out-of-town family members like to buy stones to remember family members.
If you are interested in purchasing a paver and having it engraved, please contact the Cemetery Committee by email at: cemetery@umpquavalleyhavurah.org
