Eternal Rest Cemetery was once an independent burial place, but is now a Jewish sub-section of Oakwood Cemetery.

Oakwood Cemetery was begun by donations of land from Andrew Dexter and General John Scott in the years 1817 and 1818 respectfully. The earliest part of the graveyard was known as Scott's Free Burying Ground, with Mary Pouncey Jones, 1790-1818 being the first recorded burial. Scott's Free Ground 1-6 are the original burying grounds.

Oakwood was a cemetery open to all of Montgomery's people, from all walks of life. The cemetery is almost one hundred and forty acres with a limited number of lots for sale.
