Berrymans Lane Cemetery Click on map to see a larger map Baltimore Hebrew Congregation's Berrymans Lane Cemetery is located at 318 Berrymans Lane in a rural setting of rolling hills in Baltimore County in Reisterstown, Maryland. It is easily accessible by using Reisterstown Road (Exit 20 off of 695) or I-795 (Exit 19). At the end of an attractive tree lined entrance roadway, the visitor beholds a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. The road circles completely around the monument so that it can be viewed from all sides. From this aesthetically pleasing and moving monument, roads fan out to all sections of the cemetery. 
Holocaust Memorial Division One and Two grave sites are tastefully memorialized by flat bronze markers. The third section, Divisions Six, Seven and Eight, grave sites are marked with attractive sculptured and engraved monuments. All sections meld together in a pleasing setting of graceful unity. The cemetery was completed in the summer of 1964. It incorporates the most modern features of cemetery planning and landscape architecture to ensure enduring beauty throughout the ages. The spacious rolling carpet of grass, the trees and the shrubbery encompass a total of eighty acres. Twenty-four acres are developed; the remaining land is in its natural wooded state.

Upon passing through the arch of the red brick Gate House, one is greeted with a truly spectacular view. Well kept lawns, grave sites, shrubs and trees make for an elegant setting for many magnificent headstones and statuaries. Master craftsmen of the 19th and 20th centuries who produced these splendid sculptures and mausoleums give the Belair Road Cemetery a feeling of harmonious tranquility. Baltimore Hebrew Congregation acquired its first three acres in 1832. In September 1865, the cemetery was enlarged by the purchase of 11 acres, and by 9 additional acres in 1884. In May 1886, a systematic plan for the care and preservation for the cemetery was begun. The work for improving the grounds continues to this very day and is perpetual. Undeveloped acreage will be divided into two sections.
There is peace of mind in knowing that your burial place will be taken care of forever. Perpetual Care and maintenance are provided for all grave sites by a separate fund started by Baltimore Hebrew Congregation in the 19th century. The fund insures continuing financial security for today and the future. For further information or to purchase grave sites, please contact Jo Ann Windman,
