Directions to Kever: Cemetery is located between South Orange Avenue in Newark and 14th Avenue in Irvington between South 19th and Grove Streets.

In addition to the actual cemetery the surrounding areas have long past their prime, visiting as a group or waiting until Annual Newark Cemetery Visiting Day in September is strongly recommended. Should an Emergency arise call 911.
