House of Life at Willesden Jewish Cemetery
The House of Life at Willesden Jewish Cemetery is a lottery funded project to open Willesden Jewish cemetery as a site of heritage for the public. We want more and a wider range of people to connect with our heritage, to value and protect it. We want to give people the opportunity to learn about Jewish burial and mourning customs as a springboard to think about wider human issues of death and memorial.
