The Masonic Cemetery, located at 760 S. Compress in Las Cruces, is the final resting place for many of our temple members. There are 3 areas where Jewish people have been buried over our long history. The last 2 sections are adjacent to Brown Street. Each area has been consecrated by the Rabbi at the time of acquisition.

Any temple member may be buried there including non-Jewish spouses so long as there are not any crosses or symbols of another faith. To purchase a plot, arrangements are made through the cemetery. At this time, the price for a plot is $1500.00 payable to Masonic Cemetery. The contact person is Karen at 526-9474.

If a non-temple member who is Jewish wishes to be buried in the Jewish section, there is a fee of $1200.00 payable to Temple Beth-El.  In some situations, an adjustment maybe made to this fee. Call the temple office (575-524-3380) and we will put you in touch with a board member with whom you can discuss your needs.

Please contact Interim Spiritual Leader, Linda Matorin Sweenie through the temple office if you need assistance with funeral arrangements.
