Falmouth Jewish Cemetery  Maintenance

 Why is funding needed for the Falmouth Jewish Cemetery Maintenance Program?

 The short answer is Covid.

 Prior to Covid, the cemetery maintenance was funded by tours operated by Marina Delfos under her tour company Falmouth Heritage Walks.  Visitors were mainly from the cruise ships that docked in Falmouth and bookings were made through her company's website or via the Facebook Page, Jewish Jamaican Journeys, that had also been established by Marina.

 It was a well received tour and there was a fascination that this cemetery even existed in this small seaport town.  However, since Covid the tours have come to a halt, and along with them, so did the source of funding for the cemetery maintenance.

 Although maintenance has been ongoing, albeit on a less regular schedule, the budget is just about depleted.  In order to continue the upkeep of one of the best maintained Jewish cemeteries on the island, we are asking donors to help so that the cemetery does not fall into disrepair.
