In 1944, Goldsteins’ Memorial Chapel began its growth in the North Philadelphia community with founders and brothers, Jack and Joe Goldstein, along with Joe’s daughter Ruth Snyderman. It has long been believed that Ruth was the first licensed female funeral director in Philadelphia and the first Jewish woman to achieve this status. Joe and Jack both were active members in the Philadelphia community, serving on various boards and organizations. As the years passed, the companies’ reputations for quality, compassion and tradition continued to grow. Each generation has added its share of licensed Jewish funeral directors, dedicated to caring for people in the community who have experienced the loss of a loved one. In 1992, Goldsteins’ merged with Rosenberg’s Raphael-Sacks. We now offer the Philadelphia Jewish community the benefit of nearly 140 years of experience with every service, pre-arrangement or counseling we provide.
