Gan Shalom
Gan Shalom is truly a garden of peace. The cemetery grounds were designed by a national cemetery design firm. The tree-lined drive leads to entry gates of stone and wrought iron. Passing through the gates one enters the cemetery grounds shaded by live oaks, palms, and pine trees. Seating areas are available for prayer or quiet contemplation.
The cemetery is being developed in phases. The first phase is divided into three garden sections: B’nai Israel Garden available to the entire jewish community, Bet Olam open to interfaith families, and the Kol Ami Garden for members of Congregation Kol Ami. Acreage remains for future development. To ensure the Jewish traditions and laws appropriate to each section are observed, the cemetery is governed by rules and regulations and will be operated under rabbinical supervision.
Before your time of Need
It is advisable to purchase cemetery plots before the need arises. Making arrangements in advance allows you to consider this important decision with your family, free of emotional stress that can accompany a purchase in time of need. By purchasing in advance, you will have greater peace of mind and your loved ones will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Purchasing a Plot at Gan Shalom
Gan Shalom offers a selection of plots and monumentation. Each garden section offers plots suitable for upright monuments or flush bronze memorials. Plots are available as single or double graves, or family plots of three, four or more. Please call the cemetery office for a current price list and terms. Tampa’s Gan Shalom is the largest jewish cemetery in Hillsborough County and the only one designed specifically for the members of the Jewish faith and their families. It is distinctly different from a “Jewish Section” of a larger non-sectarian cemetery.
Perpetual Care
Gan Shalom maintains a Perpetual Care Trust Fund. This trust fund ensures a permanent source of funding for the maintenance of the cemetery plots in perpetuity. The perpetual care contribution is included in the purchase price; there are no future assessments.
