(Within Valley Oaks - Griffin Memorial Park and Mortuary, formerly Pierce Brothers - Valley Oaks Westlake Village)
(They have a consecrated part of the cemetery known as Temple Beth Torah and another distinct part within Ivy Lawn Memorial Park for Jewish burials, in a non-consecrated area.)
(Previously known as St. Mary's Cemetery then sold to the Presbyterian Church then deeded to an unnamed Jewish organization. In 1964 the city removed all gravestone markers, of the Catholic, Presbyterian, Jewish and Chinese interred there. A movement is to restore the cemetery markers many of which are stored in city hall. A private website includes the names of the people buried there. This cemetery includes Jewish pioneers of Ventura County with a Jewish presence since 1886. No burials have been in the park since 1941. It became a park in 1964 when the City of Ventura decided to remove the headstones, very old with no upkeep and maintain the area as a memorial park. There are small metal markers flush with the ground that can be keyed to the larger memorial bearing the names of all those buried in the cemetery.)
