| Cemetery Description: |
Bathurst Lawn Memorial Park, Beth Meyer Synagogue [Section 47A], 6033 Bathurst Street (south of Steeles Ave. West), Toronto (North York)), Ontario, Canada. 128 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.
This section is located on the north side of the Tel Aviv Boulevard roadway. The section consists of two rows, A and B, from west to east. In row A, plots are numbered sequentially from 1 (closest to Tel Aviv Boulevard) northwards; in row B, plots are numbered from 1A through 1C, followed by 2 northwards. A Holocaust memorial is located in front of row A; a bench is located in front of row B.
