Lambton Hills Cemetery, Congregation Knesseth Israel (Junction Synagogue) [Section 2], 1293 Royal York Road (South of Eglinton Ave. West), Toronto (Etobicoke), Ontario, Canada. 379 burials total.
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 cemetery lands are accessed via an unpaved roadway on the east side of Royal York Road, immediately north of Bell Royal Court
This section is located at the north end of the cemetery roadway, to the north of the Congregation Knesseth Israel entrance gate. The section consists of two areas. The original area is anchored at the southwest by the building adjacent to the entrance gate (erected 25 August 1913) and extends northward until the downhill slope. Headstones are arranged in north-south 'columns' (lines) numbered sequentially from 1 (adjacent to the fence at the west edge of the section) through 18, with an N/S extension designating graves to the north or south of the central west-east walkway. Graves are lettered alphabetically from A (at the north end of the section) through Y, followed by Z1 through Z5; the west-east walkway through the middle of the section is grave P. An extension (not yet in use) is located to the north of the downhill slope, to the north of columns 9 through 16, with graves numbered sequentially from 1 (at the north end of the extension) through 15 (closest to the original area).
Headstone photographs are current as of June 2021. Please contact cemetery@JGSToronto.ca to request copies of headstone photographs (which may include older and/or higher-resolution versions); please provide the decedent's name, section, and grave number.
