The Hazelrigg Jewish Cemetery (Orthodox) is located in Coach Lane, Gosforth
and actually lies within the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside. It was opened in 1906, having initially
been acquired by Newcastle's Corporation Street Synagogue, and remains in use to this day.
It incoroporates the Ravensworth Cemetery (opened 1905) and has sections
reserved for members of the Gateshead Community.
Details of burials in the Hazelrigg, Ravensworth and Gateshead Cemetery Sections are provided in this database, together
with over 1,730 images of all legible and partially legible headstones. It covers all burials and consecrations up to the end of
July 2021, almost 2,300 records.

The available records include details of a number of burials for which no specific
grave locations have been identified. These are listed seprately for both Hazelrigg (31 burials) and Ravensworh (70 burials).
The term 'Unconsecrated Grave' is used to describe
graves for which the deceased has been identified (from the burial records) but where no headstone or plaque
has been consecrated. The term 'Unknown' is used to describe graves (usually soil or concreted) for
which the deceased cannot be identified.
