History
Congregation Sherith Israel established its first cemetery in 1850. In 1889 the cemetery moved from San Francisco to Colma. Hills of Eternity Memorial Park consists of twenty acres of graciously landscaped gardens at the foot of the San Bruno Mountains. The grounds and mausoleums are respectfully maintained under endowed care. The Portals of Eternity Mausoleum and Chapel, which opened in 1934, were designed by Samuel Hyman and Abraham Appleton. Its tall, octagonal-tiered towers, capped by tiled and copper domed roofs, make the mausoleum an outstanding example of neo-Byzantine architecture. The cemetery has designated sections for several Bay Area synagogues: Congregation Beth Am, Congregation Beth Jacob, Congregation Kol Emeth, Congregation Or Shalom, Congregation Sha'ar Zahav and Peninsula Sinai Congregation.
