Eliza Feller, Director of Advance Planning

I invite you to begin the process of caring for and protecting your family by making decisions about funeral arrangements ahead of time. Advance Planning for a funeral is one of the best gifts you can give your family.


Our funeral directors who specialize in Advance Planning are here to make the process as easy as possible for you. When you meet with us to go over all the options, we will provide you with the information you need to make decisions. Whether you are looking for something distinctive that reflects your unique personality or prefer a traditional Jewish funeral, we are here to help.


If you have questions about how the process works or would like to talk before setting up an appointment, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help you take the first step in this important process.

The Talk Of A Lifetime

Initiating "The Talk" with a loved one can feel uncomfortable, but with the guidance of the Funeral and Memorial Information Council through their Have the Talk of a Lifetime program, there are different ways you can approach the topic with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. 


We have seen first-hand how families were so happy they decided to have "The Talk" and make arrangements in advance. Having a service that captures your loved one not only honors their memory and personal requests, but can also be very helpful in the grieving process for family and friends. More information on the program, resources and tools can be found by visiting their website talkofalifetime.org
