The Home of Peace Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery founded in 1924, and located at 6200 Stockton Boulevard in Sacramento, California.[1][2] This cemetery contains some of the earliest Jewish gravestones in the western United States, moved from Chevra Kaddisha Cemetery.[3]
The Home of Peace Cemetery land was purchased by Congregation B'nai Israel of Sacramento and donated to the Sacramento Benevolent Hebrew Society.[4] The cemetery is a wedge shaped parcel and approximately 10-acres in size.[3] Many of the graves from the precursor Chevra Kaddisha Cemetery (established in 1850), and were moved to Home of Peace Cemetery around the time of its opening in 1924.[5][4][6] In a public ceremony in November 1925, Congregation B'nai Israel of Sacramento and Mosaic Law Congregation worked together to consecrate the land.[4]
