About this cemetery
Baron de Hirsch Cemetery in Halifax is a Jewish cemetery, also known as the Beth Israel Synagogue Cemetery, on the west side of Windsor Street. It takes its name from the Baron de Hirsch Hebrew Benevolent Society, named for the philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsch, which sought land on the outskirts of the city for a cemetery and bought the Culvie Farm property. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission also lists the site as the Halifax Baron De Hirsch Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery.
