Rituals

For centuries, Jewish customs and rituals have paid homage to the deceased, and helped mourners cope during the intense period of grieving following a death.

The Garden of Remembrance accommodates your personal preferences for burial arrangements in accordance with Jewish tradition. How you decide to honor the memory of your loved ones is your choice. Our experienced counselors are always available to answer questions and assist you with arrangements at your convenience.

In turn, when you are ready to plan an unveiling, we will help you make the necessary preparations for a time that is convenient for you, your family and your Rabbi.

Take a moment to read through our brochure of  Jewish rituals and customs , many that have survived through the millennia.

The Garden of Remembrance will provide you and your family members with relevant information on prayers that may be used for funeral and unveiling services, as well as yarmulkes, water and umbrellas for use in inclement weather. Please don’t hesitate to inquire at our on-site administrative office for assistance.
