Notable burials

Jones Avenue Cemetery

In 1883, Jones Avenue Cemetery opened at 480 Jones Avenue in Riverdale by Chevra Kadisha Chesed Shel Emes, Toronto's non-profit Orthodox Jewish burial society. The cemetery was also used by the Tarauley Street and Chestnut Street Synagogues as well as Goel Tzedec. [2] Around 1919, part of the cemetery was sold to Goel Tzedec which later joined the Conservative Judaism movement and merged with Beth Hamidrash Hagadol in 1952 to become Beth Tzedec Congregation. [3] Chevra Kadisha Chesed Shel Emes later became defunct and its portion of the cemetery is now operated by Jewish Cemeteries Management Inc., a non-profit agency founded to assume responsibility for Jewish cemeteries whose owners have become defunct or moribund.
