Providing Graveside funeral services for your loved one.
The Jewish Graveside Service
The Jewish Graveside Service is a popular choice for many of the families we serve. Due to our unique location conveniently located in Downtown Manhattan, we easily service all New York, Long Island and New Jersey Jewish Cemeteries, especially for families who want to assemble at our Chapel and drive in procession to the cemetery for services.
The Jewish Graveside Service consists of all service being performed in the cemetery at graveside. Beth Abraham will gladly arrange for a Rabbi based on the families wishes. We work with all Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Rabbis. Our Rabbi’s, as well, work with families to prepare a fitting service and personalize each service based on conversations they have with the family, to fully understand and know the life of the one they are eulogizing.
During the service family and friends have the opportunity to participate and assist, if desired, in the burial process.
Beth Abraham will supply all items necessary and make arrangements for all services. We will gladly bring our custom Graveside Amplification System, which ensures that all attending will be able to hear the service. Ask us about this new system.
The Jewish Chapel Service
The Jewish Chapel Service meets the needs of those families, who want to ensure a comfortable, convenient environment for their family and friends. We will work with the family’s Rabbi, or arrange for a Rabbi for the family, to plan the perfect service. Our Jewish Funeral Chapel was designed to accommodate both very large and very small families. The Burial process in Jewish Law is considered the truest Mitzvah, as it is not an obligation, and more importantly, the one act the deceased can never re-pay. As such many of the attendees of the Jewish Chapel Service choose to take part in the final rite of Jewish Burial at the graveside.
