The Temple Israel Memorial Park is a beautiful haven in our city. With many benches to rest on and large, old trees covering much of the cemetery, you can spend some peaceful time remembering your loved ones. The Memorial is also one of the oldest Minneapolis cemeteries--the Chapel on site is on the National Historical Register.

Temple members are encouraged to give trees in memory of loved ones. The trees make a lovely border for the park’s perimeter. To make arrangements for planting a tree or purchasing a cemetery plot, call 612-377-8680.
