Four of the five Jewish cemeteries in Louisville are in what is basically a cemetery complex off Preston Highway. Traveling south from downtown on Preston, the first entry point would be The Temple Cemetery, the middle entryway leads to Keneseth Israel, and the last entry point off Preston is Adath Jeshurun. The entry to Anshei Sfard is not off Preston; it is off Locust Lane, right around the corner. (Agudath Achim is across Preston Highway from the "cemetery complex"). At the light at the corner of Preston and Locust, where Adath Jeshurun is the corner cemetery, turning right onto Locust Lane will lead to the entrance to Anshei Sfard Cemetery.
There are a couple of ways to become confused at Anshei Sfard:
1. Section 1 is actually located at the very back of Keneseth Israel Cemetery, directly behind Section E, near the fence line. It is totally separate from the rest of Anshei Sfard.
2. The line of demarcation between Anshei Sfard and Keneseth Israel is a small pathway through the grass which separates Sections C and A of Anshei Sfard from Sections K and F of Keneseth Israel. It is very easy to believe that you are in one cemetery when you are actually in the other one. Once the cemeteries spread out in Sections C and D of Keneseth Israel and the back of Section A of Anshei Sfard it is, again, very difficult to determine in which cemetery you are located. Based on its position, you may think that a grave is in one cemetery when it is actually in the other. If you do not see someone in either cemetery's listing, please check the other cemetery.
