Pre-need arrangements can be made before an individual dies, when it is clear that there in not much time left. We can also provide assistance in other situations when a person will not qualify for government benefits, and does not have sufficient funds for a funeral from a commercial funeral home. Please contact us as quickly as possible so we can help make sure the niftar is prepared for burial immediately after the death in accordance with Jewish law.
