Serial sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein was laid to rest in Palm Beach County, one site of his many crimes of sexual abuse against minors and the only place he ever served time in jail for the crimes.
You are unlikely to be able to find the crypt where his ashes are in one of the county’s Jewish cemeteries. It is next to those of his parents, longtime residents of the county. But the two slabs identifying the resting places are blank.
Epstein was arrested in Palm Beach County in 2006 on a felony charge of soliciting a prostitute despite Palm Beach police finding dozens of victims. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to that charge and another prostitution-related felony. He was sentenced to 18 months in the Palm Beach County Jail, where he was housed in a private wing. During what ended up being a 13-month sentence, Epstein was granted work release six days a week, 12 hours a day.

Who brought Jeffrey Epstein’s remains to Palm Beach County?
Eleven years after the “deal of the century” for what many consider the lightest of charges and prison terms, Epstein was arrested in 2019 by New York federal law enforcement on charges of sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York. Within a month, the 66-year-old was found hanged in his jail cell.
After the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide, Epstein’s younger brother, Mark, picked up Jeffrey’s remains and had them moved here to be placed in a crypt beside his parents. Their parents lived in the condo, which he still owns, until their deaths.
Seymour died in a Cleveland car crash in 1991 at age 75. He had worked as a groundskeeper and gardener for the New York City parks department. Paula (Stolofsky) was a housewife. She died in West Palm Beach in 2004 at age 85.

Mark in 2019 offered up the $105,000 condo to help guarantee Jeffrey’s bail on the sex trafficking charges. Jeffrey was not released. Jeffrey bought his Palm Beach mansion on El Brillo Way in 1990.
Mark is an artist and real estate magnate. The brothers Epstein grew up in Sea Gate, one of the few gated communities on Coney Island.
