Pardes Shalom
The price of a plot at Pardes Shalom Cemetery is governed by the price we paid for it. We are required to charge you the same amount that we paid to purchase it.
The Temple issues you a letter, once you have paid for the plot, which confirms your purchase and provides you with interment rights in the Holy Blossom Temple section.
The exact plot is not specified but will be identified at the time of need. If you have purchased two plots, the second one will be reserved immediately beside the one that’s been used.

Holy Blossom Cemetery/Pape Avenue
This cemetery, established in 1849, was transferred to Holy Blossom when the synagogue was founded in 1856. It was used for burials until the 1930s and contains the graves of many of the founders and early notables of the Toronto Jewish community. No plots are available for purchase.

Visits to the Pape Avenue Cemetery are by request only. Contact Donna Bernardo-Ceriz by email at [email protected] to make an appointment to unlock the gate or request a tour.
Glenview Memorial Gardens – Beit Olam
At Beit Olam, Jews will be buried with all the Jewish rites and rituals, while having the comfort of being laid to rest alongside their loved ones. To Honour the Deceased (K’vod haMeit) and To Comfort Mourners (Nichum Aveilim) are essential mitzvot. With the establishment of Beit Olam, we will further our ability to do both with dignity and compassion. Glenview Cemetery is pleased to provide the Jewish community with an identifiably Jewish burial section, which will preserve the Jewish Heritage in their serene landscapes.
Temporarily closed
For more information on Beit Olam, visit www.glenviewmemorial.ca or contact Cindy Zimmer at 416-789-3291 ext 229.
