The contribution offers a historical overview of establishing and maintaining burial practices at the Jewish cemetery in Rožna Dolina near Nova Gorica, which is the largest cemetery of its kind in Slovenia. Until September 1947, the Jewish cemetery formed a whole together with the synagogue in Gorizia (Italy), established by the former Jewish community of Gorizia, which ceased to exist in 1969. Even though the said cemetery, as well as the Jewish funeral parlour, is no longer in use today, it continues to serve as a splendid example of the preserved Jewish cultural heritage, which is yet to be properly appraised.Prispevek prinaša zgodovinski pregled vzpostavitve in načina pokopavanja na judovskem pokopališču v Rožni Dolini pri Novi Gorici, ki velja za največje tovrstno pokopališče na Slovenskem. Do septembra 1947 je skupaj s sinagogo v Gorici (Italija) tvorilo zaključeno celoto. Vzpostavila ga je nekdanja goriška judovska skupnost, ki pa je leta 1969 prenehala obstajati. Danes omenjeno pokopališče, skupaj z nekdanjo judovsko mrliško vežico, ni več v uporabi. Kljub temu je odličen primerek ohranjene judovske kulturne dediščine, ki pa še čaka na ustrezno ovrednotenje
