New Mt. Sinai Cemetery (1850) is the oldest existing Jewish cemetery in St. Louis and one of, if not the oldest existing Jewish cemetery, west of the Mississippi River.  Its historical significance and professionally maintained grounds make it a popular place to visit.

A tour narrative, complete with detailed map, is available in the cemetery office on Monday through Friday from 9 to 4.  Visitors can walk or drive to any one or all of the 43 stops including the Community Mausoleum, the Veterans Memorial Garden and Monument, the original Chapel (1905), the House of Comfort (1916), and the burial sites of some of the most historically significant members of the St. Louis community.  These include rabbis, philanthropists, business leaders, political figures, and veterans from every major conflict since the war with Mexico in 1846.

Guided group tours of 15 or more can be arranged by calling the cemetery office at 314-353-2540.
