Located in the city of Laval, approximately 10 minutes from Montreal is our Pythian Cemetery. The Association welcomes all members in good standing of any subordinate lodge in our domain is join and reserve a single or double plot. The fees are extremely reasonable (only $5.00 a year, plus your initial fee). The Cemetery is run according to strict Jewish Orthodox laws and is recognized by the rabbis of all Montreal Congregations.

 

Every year, the Cemetery Association of the Knights of Pythias hold their annual remembrance day, to remember and honour the lives of our departed, beloved Brethren. It is very appropriate that we remember these souls just before the holiest and holy days of our Jewish calendar.

Cemetery President P.C. Misha Byer and Executive Member P.C. Allan Tabac are responsible for a very solemn service each and every year. It is very difficult to remember so many great Pythians who now lie in peace, resting with their Brethren.

Rabbi Jonas Rosner, a good friend to our Pythian Order delivered a very appropriate memorial speech.

"In the Torah is the commandment "Love your fellow being as you would love yourself." by definition, just being a member of the Knights of Pythias indicates and characterizes the Pythian as a very special human being, who truly cares about the needs and concerns of other people.

To memorialize the lives of such dedicated and devoted Pythians members, is a great honour and privilege, especially as we usher it the New Year of 5767 of the Hebrew calendar. In honour of these precious holy souls who have left our world, to reap the heavenly reward, we beseech the All Mighty to indeed bless each and every one of us and our families with a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, to carry on the beneficially holy work they do-- and may we all merit the coming of the Messiah when the Good L-rd will bring true peace and brother hood and understand, and us us all say, Amen.
