Services
Graveside Service or Chapel Service
A Jewish funeral can take many forms, reflecting the family’s level of religious observance and personal traditions. The Jewish funeral rite offers various options, ranging from a strictly Orthodox service to a Conservative or Reform approach, allowing each family to honor their loved one in a way that aligns with their faith and values.
At Eden Memorial Chapel, our Jewish funeral directors specialize in customizing services to meet the unique needs of each family. Whether you seek a traditional or modern adaptation of Jewish funeral customs, we are here to provide guidance, compassion, and expertise every step of the way. Our commitment is to honor your loved one’s legacy while ensuring the funeral reflects your family's beliefs and traditions.
The Jewish Graveside Service
A Jewish graveside service is a meaningful and traditional choice for many families. At Eden Memorial, our convenient location near major highways and the George Washington Bridge allows us to serve families seamlessly across New York and New Jersey. Our New Jersey chapel provides a gathering space before proceeding to the cemetery, while our New York location is just minutes from the major Jewish cemeteries of Long Island and Queens, making us a trusted choice for Jewish funeral services.
Held entirely at the cemetery, a graveside service offers a respectful and heartfelt farewell. We can arrange for a Rabbi based on the family’s preferences, working with Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform clergy. Each Rabbi takes time to speak with the family to create a personalized service that honors the life and legacy of the deceased.
Family and friends are welcome to take part in the burial process, a deeply symbolic tradition. Eden Memorial ensures all arrangements are handled with dignity and care, providing everything needed for a seamless service.
To enhance the experience, we offer a custom Graveside Amplification System, ensuring all attendees can hear and participate fully. Ask us about this feature to make your loved one’s farewell as meaningful and inclusive as possible.
The Jewish Chapel Service
A Jewish Chapel Service offers a meaningful and comfortable setting for families to gather before proceeding to the cemetery. At Eden Memorial, we work closely with your family’s Rabbi or can arrange one on your behalf to ensure a personalized and respectful service.
Our chapels are thoughtfully designed to accommodate both intimate and larger gatherings, providing a serene space for family and friends to come together. With ample on-site parking, we make it easy to organize well-structured processions to the cemetery, allowing loved ones to accompany the deceased to their final resting place.
In Jewish tradition, participating in the burial process is a true Mitzvah—a selfless act of kindness that cannot be repaid. Many attendees choose to take part in this final rite at the graveside, honoring their loved one by assisting in the burial.
We welcome families to visit our newly designed Jewish funeral homes, meet with our experienced Jewish Funeral Directors, and explore whether a Jewish Chapel Service or Jewish Graveside Service best fits their needs. Our team is here to guide you with compassion, experience, and deep respect for tradition.
