The cemeteries have agreed to try to allow off-hour burials, including on Sundays and secular holidays.
The rabbis say such limitations affect Jews more because of religious restrictions on certain burial days and an obligation to bury people within 24 hours after death.
The agreement does not address complaints about higher prices.
Cemetery owners say they incur added costs for off-schedule burials, including unionized worker overtime.
The agreement was announced by Senator Loretta Weinberg, Assemblyman Gary Schaer, the North Jersey Board of Rabbis and three of the state's largest Jewish cemeteries.
Weinberg says she'll continue to push related legislation. The agreement is not legally enforceable.
