Under the auspices of the Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society, this cemetery was first used in 1905 through to 1993. After many years of neglect and vandalism, a complete revamp was made by the Sandymount Restoration Project headed by Stanley Coorsh at a considerable cost and is now in a much better condition. It contains 2237 burials, ( as at 26th October 2023 ), many of which are children and infants. There are approximately 1257 unmarked graves. A separate permanent memorial has been erected in memory of all the children ( mainly grass covered ).
These figures wwere arrived at after comprehensive access to the official Council records.
