Death & Bereavement

GLJC, in collaboration with Cheltenham Borough Council, has a consecrated Jewish cemetery with 70 burial plots at the Bouncers Lane Cemetery and Crematorium. This site is available for all Jewish persons as well as non-Jewish partners of Jewish persons.

GLJC is committed to providing support in the event of the death of any Jewish person in Gloucestershire. GLJC’s Burial Officer will ensure that a Rabbi or lay-leader is available to lead Jewish funeral (burial or cremation) services for the deceased in collaboration with the appointed funeral director, Ian George Funeral Directors, and the Bouncers Lane Cemetery manager. For full details about the cemetery and GLJC’s funeral services.

In the event of a death, please contact our Burial Officer, David Naydorf on 07767 215123.  If our Burial Officer cannot be reached, please contact Rabbi Anna Gerrard on 07817 207625.
