Coming Street Cemetery
The Coming Street Cemetery in Charleston, SC is the oldest Jewish burial ground in the South, established in 1762. Managed by the Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim Synagogue, the cemetery features over 600 marble and brownstone grave markers, many of which are significant examples of gravestone art. With markers dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, including box tombs, obelisks, and columns, the cemetery holds the graves of prominent Charlestonians such as Joshua Lazarus and Marx E. Cohen, Jr. The site is surrounded by a stuccoed brick wall, which has played a crucial role in preserving the cemetery over the past two centuries.Generated from the website
