On outer Congress Street near the airport lies Temple Beth El Memorial Park— a cemetery owned and managed by Temple Beth El (Stop W02) for its Jewish members, their families, and the surrounding Jewish community. There is a consecrated area dedicated to members of the Jewish faith, and another section dedicated to Jews and non-Jews who wish to be buried together.

Dedicated in 1960, this cemetery represents a 13 year effort by a group of members who wanted TBE to be able to provide a burial service and interment according to the tradition of Conservative Judaism. Memorial Park has no headstones or curbing around burial plots that allows some to be more ornate than others; instead, standard-sized modest bronze plaques set into the ground are used as grave markers. The cemetery is open to the public, and a map and records are available online.
