A memorial with plaque, entry is through a ceremonial hall. The hall was restored when the cemetery was repaired following an incident of vandalism in 1989 in which 43 gravestones were damaged. The hall has a big arched central door flanked by two arched windows. It is painted pale yellow with a red tile roof (Figure 51). Inside is a plaque commemorating the Jewish cemetery in Beltinci, which ceased operations around the turn of the century (some of its stones may have been moved to Lendava). The plaque also commemorates prominent members of the local community from the early 20th century.
