Help Finding Burials in the Har HaMenuchot Cemetery in Jerusalem

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on spending a week in Jerusalem at the end of December, and while
I'm there I want to visit the Har HaMenuchot Cemetery, also known as the Givat
Shaul Cemetery. I have several relatives buried there, including my great-great
-grandfather Morris HEISEL/HEISLER. The problem is I have absolutely no idea
where in the cemetery said relatives buried or even which society they would
have been buried with, only that it was in that cemetery. And I'm afraid my
Hebrew isn't good enough to call the burial societies.

Would someone on this website with experience in talking to Israeli burial
societies mind helping me out here? If it helps, I already know two things:

1. I actually already know for a fact where my great-great-grandfather's
daughter and son-in-law are buried, in Chasidim Gush 7, Chelka 1, Sura 1. I
have no idea if my great-grandfather is buried anywhere near them, but it
might be helpful.

2. My great-great-uncle and namesake donated his body to science and based
on what I heard was buried in a special section later. If anyone knows what
kind of section he would have been buried in, please tell me. Although I
should also specify I'm not 100% sure he's buried here anyway.

Please note that while I of course would appreciate any general information
on the cemetery and finding my relatives, please contact me privately if you
want to make the call to the burial societies for me. When you do, I'll give
you the names in Hebrew and English along with dates of birth and death.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Jacob Heisler.
Rishon LeZion, Israel
