Founded in 1858, this Jewish cemetery is the first one you come to when riding the streetcar out to the end of Canal Street to the cemeteries, but it's easy to miss. There are no tombs, and most burials are low to the ground and in the more traditional American style- one body per plot.

Without any big marble structures, Chevra Thilim is easy to miss, especially since it's dwarfed by a huge white mansion along side it- once a funeral home in it's, now home of a 'para-complex,' where they give ghost tours and test your potential for ESP. With the low-lying landscape, there's one tomb that stands out, the Harry Offner lighthouse. At 11 feet high and including much detail, it's hard to miss. Mr. Offner was a president of the Lighthouse for the Blind, and chose to be buried under their symbol.
