People have asked the BAO about what happens to deceased people whose bodies are unclaimed.
The Bereavement Authority of Ontario’s Beyond magazine has answered that question in its February issue.
If you ever receive such questions, and others, you may find the February issue of our free consumer magazine interesting.
The online magazine also features engaging family articles about religious bereavement practices, the BAO’s role in protecting grieving families, our caring professional licensees and dealing with grief.

Restmount Cemetery Brochure
Restmount Cemetery is located on Oxford Street West, east of Wonderland Road – adjacent to Or Shalom Cemetery. It was established in 1933 by a group of London families who wanted an alternative Jewish burial site not bound by traditional Jewish rituals.
In order to maintain continuity, the Restmount Corporation board approached Temple Israel to form a joint committee. Restmount Cemetery was officially renamed Restmount Temple Israel Cemetery Corporation, with a new board consisting of representatives of Temple Israel members and members who are lineal descendants of the founding families.
