A caring Jewish funeral provider

Front exterior building and signage at Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial Chapel We 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.

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial Chapels did a wonderful job assisting me through the emotional process of making last arrangements for my mother. Chastity helped me prearrange services. She listened carefully to my ideas, clearly outlined my options, assisted me with paperwork, followed through on everything that needed to be done prior to Mom's passing and what needed to be done when the time came. She made a difficult process easy. There was no pressure to do more and there were no surprises. Furthermore, she even called me a few weeks later when Mom passed while she was out on vacation to wish me condolences and let me know there was ongoing support available at no charge. That's what I call great service and care! Eric took over when the time came and he was equally great."
