  Jewish Graceland is a conglomerate of about four different cemeteries. It has fallen into disuse and neglect in recent years, with weeds and fallen trees overtaking a large part of the premises.

  Many think that the entire cemetery is refered to as 'Jewish Graceland Cemetery' but this is not true. Only the south cemetery became Jewish Graceland Cemetery (named for the corporation owning it).In the early 1990's, the north cemetery also became known as Jewish Graceland Cemetery when it was purchased by that same corporation owning the south. The center two cemeteries are NOT Jewish Graceland Cemetery. These sections are owned by Hebrew Beneavolent Society, and is in no way connected to Jewish Graceland Cemetery Corporation.As of April 2007,Jewish Graceland Cemetery is now under new ownership and management and they have put a lot of work into restoring the old cemetery.
