FAQs

There are two important principles in the Jewish faith regarding death and mourning. The first, k’vod ha-met, requires that the body be treated with the utmost respect from the time of passing until burial is complete. The second is the idea that death is a natural process and a normal part of the life cycle. We do our best to comfort those in grief and to honor these two principles. A Jewish funeral should in every respect express the dignity, sanctity and modesty of a solemn religious service.

Please contact Sinai Chapels first. We will coordinate all details with the burial society, landsmanschaft, organization or congregation. We will secure all necessary permits and signatures and make sure all benefits to which you are entitled are received.

Decisions made regarding the funeral service should be made jointly with your Rabbi and funeral director. Our staff handles all the details associated with the funeral regardless of location. We will coordinate all of the details with all parties involved in preparing for a funeral including the Rabbis, Chevra Kadisha, cemeteries burial societies or organizations.

Once the details of the service are confirmed with both the Rabbi and funeral director, friends and relatives may be notified. Service information may be found on the Sinai Chapels website.
