Everything you need to know
Neshama is a free service that aggregates obituary listings from Toronto's Jewish funeral homes into one easy-to-read feed. Instead of checking multiple funeral home websites, you can see all current obituaries in one place.
We currently aggregate from Steeles Memorial Chapel and Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel. We plan to add more funeral homes serving the Toronto Jewish community over time.
Our system checks funeral home websites regularly throughout the day. New obituaries typically appear on Neshama within hours of being posted by the funeral home.
No. Neshama is an independent community service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any funeral home. All information is sourced from publicly available funeral home websites.
Yes. Subscribe to our free daily digest and you'll receive an email each morning with new obituaries from the previous day. You can subscribe from the feed page or visit the feed to sign up.

Neshama is the Hebrew word for "soul." In Jewish thought, the neshama is the divine spark within each person — eternal and sacred. We chose this name because every soul deserves to be remembered and honored by the community.
