Cemetery   

Shaarei Shomayim Congregation owns four cemeteries, one at Bathurst Lawn Memorial Park, two at Mount Sinai Memorial Park and McCowan Road Cemetery. The McCowan Road Cemetery is different from our other cemeteries because it stands alone, surrounded by housing and a city park. All the plots at our Bathurst Lawn and Mount Sinai locations are assigned. A member in good standing is entitled to a plot, at time of need, and there are over one thousand plots available at McCowan Road Cemetery. 

Our McCowan Road Cemetery has been upgraded. The roadway and parking lot are paved. There is a new main entry gate, a stone entry column with our name in bronze on it and iron fencing and gates with more stone columns. Inside the cemetery grounds are paving stone walkways and a unique hand washing basin carved into a granite boulder.

The city has begun the development of the park land immediately north of the cemetery and on the west side of McCowan Road. Called McCowan District Park, this work should immensely enhance the setting of our cemetery.
