​WEATHER ALERT
Maimonides Cemetery encourages visitors to be aware of local weather when coming to the cemetery. Occasionally, the cemetery will limit visitor access or close the cemetery when conditions are hazardous for the visitor or the graves. Please be mindful of conditions when visiting. Maimonides Cemetery recommends that visitors do not come out when the graves are snow covered. While the road is clear, the graves will remain naturally snow covered and there will be no safe paths through the snow and ice. This poses a safety concern for visitors and graves because stones can be covered as well. Please delay your visit until the snow is gone.
