| Cemetery Description: |
Lambton Hills Cemetery was established in 1910 by Congregation Knesseth Israel. Individual parcels of land were subsequently sold to other congregations and organizations, such that it is today comprised of individual sections serving 13 synagogues/organizations. Each section is independently owned and operated.
The Temple Sinai section permits interfaith burials of non-Jews with their non-Jewish spouse. This section is located at the southeast corner of the cemetery property. It is bordered by fencing on three sides: on the south abutting a grove of trees on the hydro property; on the west with a gate leading to the sloped eastern portion of section 6; and on the north abutting section 13. Rows are numbered sequentially from 1, starting at the fence at the 'rear' (west end) of the section. Plots are numbered sequentially from left (south) to right (north); plot 1 borders the trees, plot 4 is used as an unmarked pathway, and plot 10 borders the fence abutting section 13.
Headstone photographs are available for most burials through 2012/2013 (and are in the process of being added to JOWBR). Please contact cemetery@JGSToronto.ca to request a headstone photograph; please provide the decedent's name, cemetery section (and sub-section, if applicable), and row and grave numbers. Headstone photographs for more recent burials can also be requested at this address and are anticipated to be fulfilled during the summer months.
Roselawn-Lambton Cemetery Association serves as an administrative organization; e-mail: roselawnlambton@yahoo.ca. More information about the cemetery's history can be found at http://www.etobicokehistorical.com/bais-oilom.html
