The Cemetery Club, by Ivan Menchell, tells the story of three Jewish widows who accompany one another once a month to a local cemetery in Forest Hills, Queens, where their husbands are buried. When the ladies run into Sam, a local butcher visiting his wife’s grave at the same cemetery, a romance seems to be in the making as Ida and Sam fall for each other. Ida's two friends and fellow “club members” don’t support Ida’s romance with Sam, complicating things a bit.
