Honour the memory of someone special and preserve their unique story for generations with a personalized online tribute page on our Baron de Hirsch-Back River Cemeteries website.
Your donation is fully tax-deductible and supports the ongoing care, preservation, and restoration of our historic cemeteries. In recognition of your gift of $180 for one person, $288 for two, or $360 for three or more, we will create a dedicated tribute page where you can:
- Share a biography that captures their life story
- Upload cherished photos and videos
- Post meaningful stories, reflections, or messages
- Commemorate special dates like yahrzeits, birthdays, or anniversaries
Each tribute page enriches our community archive and becomes a permanent online space for remembrance and reflection–especially meaningful for those who cannot visit in person.
As part of your tribute, we can also place a QR code on the monument, discreetly affixed, that links directly to your loved one’s tribute page. Visitors to the cemetery will be able to instantly access their story using a smartphone, creating a powerful connection between past and present.
