Jewish Memorial Traditions
Traditionally, many Jewish headstones will include the English and Hebrew name of your loved one who has passed and their relationship to your family. Other Hebrew inscriptions may be added as well. Many families will have a headstone or grave marker placed in an unveiling ceremony, after the Kaddish period is over, but not more than a year after their loved one’s passing. When visiting a gravesite, it is customary to place a small stone on the monument to indicate that someone has visited to pay their respects.
Common Jewish Symbols
Menorah
Menorahs, depicted as a candlestick holding 7 candles, are often chosen as a symbol to represent Jewish faith over time.
Star of David
The Star of David is one of the most recognizable symbols of Judaism around the world and is found on many memorials.

Hebrew text, such as prayers and names, is a popular choice to be added to the monument of someone of the Jewish faith.
