The United Synagogue cemeteries are maintained to a good standard but due to the nature of the grounds there are inevitable risks namely, slips and trips. In particular, please be careful when visiting our older cemeteries, paths can be very uneven. When walking around the graves please ensure that you do not hold onto the headstones and you watch your footing. The ground at these cemeteries is very volatile; subsidence can occur at any time. Please take notice of the iron railings and any signage indicating risk.
