Western Arizona Jewish Cemetery

Hi Jolly Cemetery, Dedicated Jewish Section, Quartzsite, AZ

In Jewish tradition, establishing a dedicated, sacred burial ground is one of the highest obligations of a community. Through a special partnership at the historic Hi Jolly Cemetery in Quartzsite, Chabad of Lake Havasu City, in collaboration with regional Chabad centers and the Arizona Meis Mitzvah Project, has established a sacred section to ensure every Jewish man and woman in Western Arizona rests in accord with centuries of Jewish law (Halacha).

Our dedicated Chevrah Kaddisha (Jewish burial society) volunteers will handle the Taharah (traditional washing and dressing of the body in linen shrouds) respectfully and sensitively at a local mortuary. Men care for men and women care for women.

We recommend Bradbury Memorial Center and have negotiated a special Jewish package with them.

Affordable Traditional Burial vs. Regional Costs

In major Southwest metropolitan areas, traditional Jewish cemetery plots alone average $8,000+, pushing full traditional burial expenses to $12,000 to $15,000+. By securing subsidized plots, we keep complete traditional burial expenses transparent and manageable:

Cemetery Plot (Subsidized):	$650
Cemetery Opening and Closing:	$600
Est. Mortuary Services and Plain Pine Casket:	~$2,000
Estimated Complete Traditional Funeral:	~$3,250

Traditional Burial vs. Real-World Cremation Costs

While basic direct cremation is often advertised at low starting rates, full out-of-pocket cremation expenses in Arizona, when including death certificates, crematory fees, transportation mileage, urns, and a memorial gathering, realistically total $2,500 to $5,000+.

Through our subsidized cemetery network, a full, sacred traditional Jewish burial (~$3,250 total) is directly cost-competitive with cremation.

Kindness Guarantee: Financial constraints should never prevent a traditional Jewish burial. If financial assistance is needed, please indicate so on this application. Full grants and subsidies are available.
