The New Jewish Cemetery was founded in 1890 (5650) and is today a preserved historical monument. It is the only functioning Jewish cemetery in Prague where funerals of Jewish departed ones are still held. Since 2005, we operate a new database in which we can locate persons burried in single graves and simultaneously are able to print out a detailed layout plan of the graves.
The cemetery plot occupies more than 10 hectares. There are about 25,000 graves.
The operational costs of the whole cemetery, including maintenance is covered both by the JCP budget and by grants.
E.G. we obtained donation in the amount of 1.5 million crowns for upkeep of trees and grass of the cemetery from the State Environment Fund for 2005-2006.
