The congregation owns and maintains its own cemetery on Watt Street, Schenectady. The cemetery land was purchased in 1854 and is a lovely, park-like setting which provides a contemplative atmosphere for remembering our beloved departed family members and friends. The cemetery is open 9-5 on Sundays in April through November. At other times, access to the cemetery is by key, which can be obtained from the temple office (518)374-8173. Office Hours are 8 am - 4 pm Monday through Friday, with the office closing at 12 noon on Fridays in July and August.
