There is also the Tahara House from 1888, which was renovated in 1984. Likewise a hearse from 1910 and a wooden bier . A war memorial commemorates the Jewish soldiers who fell in World War I from: Angeltürn, Bödigheim, Buchen , Eberstadt , Großeicholzheim , Hainstadt , Kleineicholzheim and Strümpfelbrunn.
A memorial plaque for the victims of fascism is attached to the Jewish cemetery with eight names of Jewish victims of the Shoah from Kleineicholzheim.
