New Mt. Sinai Cemetery Association is a non-profit religious corporation providing mausoleum and in-ground burial arrangements for Jews and non-Jewish spouses throughout the St. Louis area. Owned by B’nai El, Shaare Emeth, and Temple Israel, the association was established in 1859.
The original German minutes from 1868 (and an English typescript at the St. Louis Jewish Archives), lists burials and includes identified removals in 1872. A reconstructed single graves book also exists, which gives names and locations beginning with the earliest burials. There is also a death register, indexed by initial, with entries starting in 1853. All but the minutes were microfilmed in 1972, and the American Jewish Archives holds a copy.
