AGUDAS ACHIM CEMETERY INFORMATION
Congregation Agudas Achim maintains two cemeteries in perpetuity. Any Jew, whether a
member of the congregation or a non-member, may apply for burial rights in the Agudas
Achim Cemetery, and may purchase a plot subject to the regulations found on this website.
Both cemeteries are located within the city limits of Hartford, CT
ZION HILL CEMETERY - This is a complex of cemeteries with several Jewish sections
maintained by local associations and congregations, as well as a large non-sectarian tract
maintained by the City of Hartford. The historic Agudas Achim Cemetery, with gravesites
dating back to the 19th century, is located here, and is closed to new burials, with the
exception of an interment in a previously-purchased plot.
DIRECTIONS – The precise location of the Agudas Achim Cemetery in Zion Hill Memorial Park is
that it is bordered on the west by Zion Street, on the north by Ward Street, and on the east by Affleck Street.
Our section is on the Affleck Street side, but driving entrance is gained at the corner of Zion Street and Ward
Street. Local visitors may call the synagogue office for driving directions. It is recommended that out-of-town
visitors consult the Auto Club or MapQuest as well as calling the office.
TOWER AVENUE CEMETERY - the Agudas Achim section of this large Jewish cemetery
complex is located on Tower Avenue in Hartford, adjacent to Keney Park, and is now the
site of the congregation's burials since the early 1930's. It has ample space to accommodate
single, double and family multiple plots.
DIRECTIONS – The precise location of the Agudas Achim Cemetery is on Tower Avenue between
Garden Street to the east and Waverly Street to the west. The cemetery entrance is off the Cleveland Avenue
extension, a small private roadway parallel to Tower Avenue, accessed via Waverly Street. Local visitors to
either cemetery may call the synagogue office for driving directions. It is recommended that out-of-town
visitors consult the Auto Club or MapQuest as well as calling the office.
For further information or to arrange a visit in consideration of plot purchase or to
request to be accompanied for a yahrzeit visit, please call (860) 233-6241. Cemetery
inquiries will be handled with discretion and confidentiality by our office staff.
The chairperson or a member of the Cemetery Committee or one of the officers of the
Synagogue Board will come to your service promptly.
