About this event

  • 2 hours

Crestlawn Memorial Park was established as a public burial place in 1916. Situated on approximately 145 acres, replete with rolling hills and established trees, Crestlawn provides a tranquil place to honor the memory of loved ones. The park also includes a variety of blooming trees, shrubbery and seasonal flowers. Adding to the appeal, Crest Lawn offers grave sites and a mausoleum with breathtaking views of the Atlanta skyline and other beautiful features throughout the park.

Join us for a tour through the Jewish sections of the cemetery, hearing about residents like Cecil Alexander, Alene Fox Uhry, Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, Herbert Haas, William Breman, Erwin Zaban, Hannabelle Hirsch Goldberg, Sidney Marcus, and more.
