The Shaar Hashomayim Cemetery was established in the mid-1860s on the northern slope of historic Mount Royal. The dignified and beautiful grounds of the cemetery provide a sense of comfort to members in times of loss and remembrance.

Monuments

The placement of a monument and/or footstone can be arranged at any time after burial and traditionally should be placed before the first anniversary of passing. A minimum six week period will be required to arrange for the selection, ordering, engraving, and delivery of a monument and/or footstone. Once the monument is ordered, the monument maker will coordinate with Yosi Even-Hen, Ritual Director, for verification of the Hebrew text, as well as with the cemetery office to schedule the placement of the monument foundation and the installation.
