Cemetery Description:

Bathurst Lawn Memorial Park, Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue [Section 3], 6033 Bathurst Street (south of Steeles Ave. West), Toronto (North York)), Ontario, Canada. 813 burials total.

The land now known as Bathurst Lawn Memorial Park (known as the Woods Cemetery for many years) was purchased in the early 1930s by the Ivansker Mutual Benefit Society. Initially, forty-five synagogues and societies purchased segments of the cemetery from Ivansker. In later years, other organizations purchased parts of these segments. By 2007, there were fifty-five separate cemeteries making up Bathurst Lawn Memorial Park.

Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue amalgamated with the Hebrew Men of England in December 1975. This section is located on the north side of the Jerusalem Road roadway. The section consists of ten rows, A through H (including B1 and F1), from west to east; row B1 follows row B and row F1 follows row F. Graves are numbered sequentially from 1 (closest to Jerusalem Road) northwards. In rows A and B1, grave 1A follows grave 1; in rows C and G, grave 1A precedes grave 1. The section gate is positioned in front of row D and a bench bearing the section name and number is located at the north end of row D (facing Tel Aviv Boulevard).

Please contact cemetery@JGSToronto.ca for information about, or to request, photographs of headstones; please provide the decedent's name, cemetery section (and sub-section, if applicable), and row and grave numbers. We can often provide larger or higher-resolution photos than those appearing here, as well as photos of the reverse side of headstones (when relevant information, such as memorial inscriptions, appears there). Headstone photographs for more recent burials can also be requested at this address and are anticipated to be fulfilled during the summer and fall months.
