Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their
husbands' graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a
feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets
the widows while visiting his wife's grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding
romance between Sam and Ida but are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida's heart.
​
The Cemetery Club was produced on Broadway starring Eileen Heckart as Lucille.
It was also made into a film, starring Ellen Burstyn, Dianne Ladd and Olympia Dukkakis.
