Cemetery

An agreement has been reached between the Prince Edward Island Jewish Community Cemetery Co-operative and the Floral Hills Memorial Gardens to designate a section of the existing cemetery for Jewish burial. The Jewish portion of Floral Hills will be defined by rope fencing and identified with a marker. The area designated will hold approximately 80 - 100 plots.

Floral Hills is owned by the PEI government, so long-term continuity is assured.

Jews and close family members, including non-Jewish spouses, will be buried together, and separated from the general population. This area will be available to Jewish residents of all of the Atlantic provinces; membership in the PEIJC is not required.

The layout of the Jewish area will be an arrangement of three sections; a non-denominational Jewish section, an Israeli traditional section, and an interfaith section for Jews and non-Jewish spouses.

Estimated current burial costs (as of 2025) are as follows:

(All prices shown are in Canadian dollars and include HST)

Membership fee in the Prince Edward Island Jewish Community Cemetery Cooperative to cover start-up costs (estimate): $200

Plot cost (including perpetual care): $1,000

Internment costs: $1,000 - $1,400

The purchaser is responsible for any transportation fees and the funeral service.

Pre-purchase of plots is encouraged.

Memorial plaques are purchased from Floral Hills. They are bronze cast and are mounted flush with the ground. Design of the plaques will require approval from the PEIJCCC and must include Jewish symbols only, and text only from Old Testament sources.
