The cemetery of the municipality of Jemgum was acquired in 1848 and first occupied in 1854. It is located at the Sieltif. Previously, the Jews of Jemgum used the cemeteries of the surrounding Jewish communities. The cemetery is 1100 square meters. Today there are still 13 gravestones.

The new Jewish cemetery was established in 1829 on land outside the then Lublin city limits. Around 1839 the cemetery was surrounded by a wall. In the following years the area was enlarged by the purchase of land. In 1918, a plot of land was added to the north, where a military cemetery was established.
