Mayfield Cemetery, Rural and Jewish cemetery in Cleveland Heights, United States
The cemetery spans 21 acres and contains 12,000 burial sites, featuring marble monuments and carefully maintained landscaped sections divided by paved pathways.
Tifereth Israel purchased the land on July 31, 1887, establishing Mayfield Cemetery as Cleveland's eastern Jewish burial ground when the area was still beyond city limits.
United Jewish Cemeteries manages this space, which serves members of Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple and The Temple - Tifereth Israel, two prominent Reform congregations.
Located at 2749 Mayfield Road, the cemetery includes a mausoleum with a chapel, while visitors can access burial records through the Cleveland Jewish Genealogical Society.
The cemetery contains Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver's gravesite in the southwest corner and represents the only Jewish garden cemetery in Cuyahoga County.
