A caring Jewish funeral provider

Front exterior building and signage at Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial ChapelWe at Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial Chapels understand that a Jewish funeral is a modest, solemn religious service designed to honor the dead and provide support to the family and friends of the person who has passed. Contemporary Jewish families are also finding ways to blend Jewish tradition with their modern lifestyles. Our funeral directors know how to help you do both and work with all sects of the Jewish faith: Orthodox, Conservative and Reformed.

Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial Chapels is among the larger Jewish-specialty funeral home in Queens, and we have plenty of parking. Our 2-story building is filled with natural light and has 2 large chapels with traditional pews. One seats 350; the other seats 175.

As you would expect from a funeral home that specialized in Jewish traditions, we have a tahara room for the ritual preparation of bodies and a large Kohanim building for those whose beliefs dictate that they not be under the same roof as their deceased loved one. Closed-circuit television allows those guests to see and hear the service without going into the building.

Sensitive funeral home staff

"Tracy Casella will forever be our guardian angel. Planning a funeral service from 3000 miles aways during Covid is a herculean task and Tracy made it feel personal, respectful, spiritual, comforting and healing. She helped us with every detail - choosing the appropriate casket, picking out the proper dress for our aunt, arranging for the rabbi and connecting us with a videographer who could record and zoom the service to family who would be unable to physically attend the service. Most of all she made our family feel secure that our aunt was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I do not have words describe the depths of our gratitude and her outstanding professionalism and kindness."

"Jennifer Martin was quick to respond, sympathetic, organized, patient with questions, always available for us, and very professional. She made a very painful and difficult time in our life as smooth and simple as possible. We feel so blessed and grateful to Jennifer for holding our hands through this."

"The death of a loved one can be indescribably painful. The unavoidable interactions with non-responsive, inattentive doctors, lawyers and administrators only add insult to injury. The comforting exception during this difficult period was Eric Anderson at Schwartz Bros. I never had to call Eric twice to reach him. He was consistently sympathetic, professional and reassuringly informed and competent. Everything he handled proceeded smoothly and as promised. 10 out of 10."
