The Temple Beth El Cemetery
One of the many privileges of being a member in good standing at Temple Beth El is a free grave site in our very own cemetery, Temple Beth El Garden of Memories. There is a one-time beautification fee required. It is the only Temple- owned cemetery in Lee County and is located within the City of Fort Myers Cemetery at 3200 Michigan Avenue, Fort Myers, Florida.
