Established in 1854, Mt. Sinai is one of the oldest continually operating Jewish cemeteries in Philadelphia. Today, it continues in the tradition of the grand cemeteries of the 19th century, boasting mature plantings, stately trees, grand mausoleums, and a historic chapel designed by the prominent Philadelphia architect Frank Furness. Shady walkways, meticulous grounds-keeping, and well-preserved memorials make this a place of beauty, serenity, and grace.
