About:

There is a cluster of cemeteries in Collingdale. Most of them are Jewish cemeteries. Each one is similar:

  • Graves are tightly packed in.

  • Details are sloppy, meaning there simply appears to be a lack of passion in maintaining these burial places well.

Other Jewish Cemeteries in Delaware County:

Cutting the grass one more time last season would have been nice. It was shaggy throughout the winter.
