Hello, My grandfather is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in the 1950’s. (He was from China and did not have many family members in Boston). We are thinking of making arrangement to have his ashes transfer to Toronto, in Canada, to be buried beside his wife who recently passed away. Can you provide me with some information or direction of how it can be done.
thanks,
May

The Chinese translation for the inscriptions:
“Remembering those who came before you”
“Long rivers flow from distant origins”
“Abundant leaves flourish from deep roots”

How many can remember those early pioneers? Their descendents? They may regard themself as one of the US citizen. Sad…

Don: I believe your question was answered by Ron Newman over at the Universalhub.com. I, myself, am not an expert on the North End so I must defer this question to more qualified historians.

When the North End was a Jewish community, is it true there were Jewish burials in the North End in those days?…
