Our funeral chapel and a space for unveiling

A wood paneled ceiling and 8 stained-glass windows at the front of the room create a warm and welcoming space. Modern audio/visual equipment in the chapel allows for a personal music playlist or a multimedia tribute—which we are happy to create for you.

The funeral home also has a private space for unveiling ceremonies. Located on the 2nd floor, away from the rest of the funeral home's common areas, this room provides a secluded respite for families to gather and remember their loved ones.

"Star of David provided a Rabbi that did a 'Zoom' funeral for my cousin who had lived with us in New Jersey. We were not able to attend in person due to Covid -19. Star of David made the arrangements for my cousin to be transported back to Florida. Everyone was very nice and very helpful."
