Salem Memorial Park and Garden, Jewish cemetery in Colma, United States.

Salem Memorial Park and Garden is a Jewish cemetery with 17 acres of landscaped gardens, traditional burial grounds, and an outdoor mausoleum built in 1950. The site combines green spaces with burial monuments and memorials across a well-maintained area.

Congregation Beth Israel consecrated Sholom Cemetery in San Francisco's City Cemetery in 1877. Facing a burial ban in the city, the congregation bought 35+1⁄3 acres in Colma in October 1891 and laid the cornerstone of New Salem Cemetery that December. Remains from the old site were moved to Colma between 1901 and 1907. About half the land was later sold, and in 2004 the cemetery passed to Congregations Emanu-El and Sherith Israel.

The cemetery began as Sholom, or Salem, Cemetery, consecrated by Congregation Beth Israel on December 2, 1877, in San Francisco's City Cemetery. Remains were exhumed and moved to Colma between 1901 and 1907. A Holocaust memorial was dedicated here in 1974, and since July 2004 the grounds have been run by Congregations Emanu-El and Sherith Israel.

The cemetery is located in Colma and opens most days from morning through afternoon, but closes during Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Visitors should check hours in advance and confirm availability, as these holidays vary yearly.

The Holocaust memorial was completed and dedicated in 1974, decades before most Bay Area cities erected comparable monuments. It stands on grounds that began as the New Salem Cemetery, consecrated in Colma in December 1891 after Congregation Beth Israel bought 35+1⁄3 acres from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese.
