LOWER MERION â Historic West Laurel Hill Cemetery, established as a profoundly different kind of burial place â a rural cemetery of distinct beauty and horticultural interest, announces yet another milestone with the official groundbreaking of its expansion to its first Jewish section of the cemetery. Construction for this new area â Makom Shalom, A Place of Peace â recently got underway.
With this new burial section, West Laurel Hill will continue their commitment to honor Jewish traditions.
Inspired by the natural landforms that make West Laurel Hill Cemeteryâs landscape and experience memorable, Makom Shalom takes advantage of one of the finest views in the cemetery from a spectacular viewing terrace.
