Although located within Fort Myers City Cemetery, it is a separately-owned cemetery and is fenced off from the city cemetery.

Purchased in three parcels from the city in the ᾽50s, ᾽60s and ᾽70s, the total number of grave sites is 240. It is the oldest Jewish cemetery and only temple-owned cemetery in Lee County. Many of the early Fort Myers Jewish leaders and founders of the Temple are buried there.

A Memorial Wall was constructed and installed in the cemetery in the 2005. It provides Temple members a place where their loved ones buried elsewhere or cremated can be forever remembered and honored by having their names and dates inscribed on the wall.
