Cemetery Description:

Lambton Hills Cemetery, Ostrovitzer Society Section 6, 1293 Royal York Road (South of Eglinton Ave. West), Toronto (Etobicoke), Ontario, Canada. 256 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 along the cemetery roadway, through the Ostrovtzer I.M.B. entrance gate. It is bordered by a fence on the south side and includes a memorial monument with benches on the northwest side of the section. Rows are lettered alphabetically A through Z, followed by AA through AD, starting at the rear (east end) of the section; rows A1 through A4 are at the rear of the section on the downhill slope (row A1 is highest up the slope). Graves are numbered sequentially from south to north; the narrow central walkway is bordered by grave 5 on the south side and grave 6 on the north side.

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. Headstone photographs for more recent burials can also be requested at this address and will be fulfilled when possible.

Roselawn-Lambton Cemetery Association serves as an administrative organization for *some* of the sections; telephone: 416-398-0563; e-mail: roselawnlambton@yahoo.ca More information about the cemetery's history can be found at http://www.etobicokehistorical.com/bais-oilom.html
