· WINTER CLOSURE OF CEMETERIES ·
We wish to inform you that the Jewish Memorial Gardens Cemeteries are now closed for the winter season.
This seasonal measure is taken to ensure the safety of visitors and the preservation of the cemetery grounds during the winter months, when conditions may become hazardous due to snow and ice.
Visitation during winter months is discouraged and is at the visitor’s own risk.
Snow removal is conducted solely at JMG’s discretion and only for burial purposes.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
The cemeteries will reopen in the spring, as soon as the conditions allow, and we will provide updates closer to that time.
Updates regarding reopening will be posted here on our website.
Thank you for your cooperation.
· Flowers ·
Jewish Memorial Gardens offers family members the opportunity to honour the memory of their loved ones by purchasing flowers, which consist of white begonias and red begonias, that are planted each year by our dedicated cemetery staff.
Not only does this memorialize our family members, it also serves to beautify our cemeteries.
Planting is done in early to mid-June, after the risk of frost has passed, and is normally completed by Father’s Day, weather permitting. The flowers are removed after the first frost in the fall.
Flower orders are taken from March through April. Late orders may be accommodated based on availability, and may incur a small late charge.
Twenty-five year planting contracts are available eliminating the inconvenience of paying annually, and will protect against inevitable price increases.
