HOW EVERY NEED IS MET.
Everyone experiences loss differently. And while there is a certain structure in Jewish funerals and rituals, it’s important that the event brings something meaningful to all. We understand that. And we treat your family’s wishes with all of the respect and compassion they deserve. From guiding the arrangements without pressure to the memorial service and the appearance of the chapel itself, we are here, fully here, to meet your every need. It’s not the only way we help ease the burden of a loss. But it’s a special type of caring that makes a Dorfman difference.
