Death and Funeral Information
Death and Funeral Information
The Ritual Committee, in consultation with Rabbi Katz, has established relationships with two area funeral home to ensure that our congregants will be provided with a basic Jewish funeral, the elements of which meet Rabbi Katz’s standards. While not all funeral homes are the same, or have the same charges, the synagogue has established these relationship to help to minimize the potential difficulty associated with the arrangements process in a period of stress, tension and grief.

CSAIR owns gravesites at Mt. Hebron Cemetery in Queens. If you are interested in purchasing a grave or graves, please contact the Executive Director.

Rabbi Katz and the Executive Director are always available to provide you with the practical details and spiritual guidance in these matters.
