The Benjamin Group … through the generations, a sacred trust.

This website provides an overview of the values and family history that have guided The Benjamin Group businesses for more than 80 years and will inspire future endeavours by the family and its talented, trusted employees.

In 1995, we reached a remarkable milestone in the life of a family business: my children, the fourth generation of Benjamin's, started to join the company. They share my commitment to serving Toronto's diverse Jewish community, like their forefathers before them.

At the same time, they bring something new, which their great-grandfather Henry Benjamin wouldn't understand. They possess the distinctive worldview of their generation - a familiarity with other cultures, both within and beyond the Jewish community; a facility with electronic communication; a curiosity to try out new business ideas.

It is likely in the years ahead that the Benjamin family will explore new business opportunities. To help us do so, while safeguarding our tradition, we have developed this new multiple website structure. We hope to have made it easier to find the sort of information you are looking for. Please, send me an email with your thoughts.

What we believe about Jewish burial and mourning traditions

By Michael Benjamin, President,
The Benjamin Group

From our almost 100 years of experience serving the funeral needs of Toronto's Jewish community, the Benjamin family has developed a distinctive philosophy about funeral practices and mourning customs. Our philosophy can best be described as "tradition-based change," and it touches all aspects of our operation.

Meet the
Benjamin family

In the early 1900's, Henry Benjamin volunteered to join Toronto's first Chevra Kadisha. This was the starting point of the Benjamin family tradition of service to the community through its grief. This tradition now spans four generations, and has become a significant part of our family history.
