With locations throughout New York City and the surrounding areas, Riverside Memorial Chapel has provided funeral services to New York City’s Jewish community since 1897. Our West 76th Street location opened in 1927 and is an Upper West Side landmark. The Neo-French-Renaissance-style facility is revered for its majestic architecture and ornate interior, both of which have been masterfully restored and renovated over the years.
Furthermore, Riverside Memorial Chapel specializes in serving the Jewish community and is the only member of the Jewish Funeral Directors of America in Manhattan. From traditional washing and shmira to the tearing of garments and using an unadorned wooden casket, our team is well-versed in the customs and rites associated with Jewish funerals. We serve all sects of the Jewish faith, including Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and secular.
