Our Jewish Funeral Costs

The passing of a loved one can be a hard time for family and friends, especially when you throw an expensive funeral bill into the mix. It is important to understand what labor and services are involved in determining the cost of a funeral. We trust funeral directors in handling our loved ones that have passed away with care and respect and that they do so in a professional manner. Funeral directors generally spend around 40 hours on a funeral service. You can be assured that they will have used that time to make sure that every detail is taken care of.

Understanding Funeral and Cremation Costs

Funeral directors handle many aspects of the funeral service process, including:


  • Transporting the body from the place of death to the funeral home
  • Completing documents pertaining to the death certificate
  • Arranging notary services 
  • Assisting families in planning a memorial 
  • Cleaning and dressing of the remains
  • Embalming
  • Help the family with decisions directed to burial and cremation.
  • If the funeral home has a crematory, cremation.
  • If there is no on-site crematory, assisting in the transportation to and from the crematory.
  • Grief support for the bereaved.
  • Assisting with selection of burial plots.
  • Permanent memorialization.
  • Officiating funeral ceremonies.
  • Creating funeral programs and memorial cards.
  • Comforting and assisting grieving family members
