Jewish Funerals

It is to be expected that the passing away of a loved one can cause great pain to those who are left behind. While there is no immediate relief from this feeling, Judaism teaches that the pain can be expressed in a healthy and loving manner. Through this, the process of restoration begins.

Byles-MacDougall Funeral Home can arrange a memorable Jewish funeral in order to facilitate the process of healing for the family of the deceased. Some of the ways in which we provide aid include help in finding an appropriate clergyman in case the deceased is not affiliated with one. A funeral can be arranged to include the traditional Jewish elements such as the Kaddish, a prayer for the deceased which is recited by family members. We are also equipped to refrigerate of the body of the deceased instead of embalming it. A Star of David may also be placed on top of the casket.

Although we provide many options, not all the traditional elements have to be strictly followed. Byles-MacDougall aims to always be sensitive to the needs of the family by providing choices. At the request of the family, the funeral director will assist in planning a personalized service that reflects a particular set of preferences.
