Home of Peace (AKA the Jewish Cemetery) was originally established in Sacramento, California in 1850. $150. was donated to the Jewish Benevolent Society for the establishment of the cemetery. The first location was at 32nd and Alhambra not far from Sutter's Fort. In 1924 it was relocated to 6200 Stockton Blvd. About 1/2 of the 500 interred were moved to the new location while the remainder of those interred were taken to Colma in San Mateo County for re-burial. The first person buried at the Home of Peace is thought to be Samuel Harris Goldstein who died May 30, 1850 when he drowned after falling of a steamboat on the Feather River. The Home of Peace serves the entire Sacramento Jewish community. There is an on-site chapel for services. The relatively small acreage is beautifully maintained with a mix of large older tombstones and more recent flat in-ground markers and niches. It is truly a beautiful and quiet oasis serving as the final resting place for over 2,500 departed.
