At Jewish Direct Burial and Cremation, our highly trained staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are closely involved from the beginning throughout your entire service with us. Jewish Direct is affiliated with the Dignity Memorial Network of more than 1,800 funeral and cemetery providers nationwide. Not only will you receive the compassionate care you’d expect from a locally operated establishment, but also the value you deserve from the largest and most trusted network of funeral, cremation and cemetery services. Whether you’re making final arrangements for a loved one or making advance arrangements for yourself, planning with us is a smart choice. Regardless of whether your need is now or in the future, our burial and cremation options, coupled with our exclusive Jewish Direct Burial and Cremation Service benefits, will help you make the arrangements that are right for you and your family. Our compassionate professionals are knowledgeable in funeral and burial customs of all faiths and cultures. In addition to incorporating any religious or cultural traditions that are important to you, we’ll also work with you to plan services filled with personalized details just for you or your loved one. From time-honored traditions to personal photographs to favorite readings and special songs, you can design the service to be a unique reflection of the life it honors. For example: At Grandpa’s funeral, family and friends covered his favorite front-porch chair with handwritten inscriptions of last good-byes. At the funeral service for Linda, who loved nature and the outdoors, guests received packets of wildflower seeds to plant in her honor. Members of Michael’s bicycling club escorted the hearse carrying his casket from the chapel to the gravesite. His own bicycle, decorated with a wreath of flowers, was there waiting for his arrival. As part of North America’s largest network of funeral, cremation and cemetery providers, we understand how difficult the loss of a loved one can be. We work with grieving families every day, and we’ve seen how personalized services such as these and services that are arranged in advance can help make a difficult time easier for families who’ve experienced a loss. That’s why we offer the Jewish Direct Burial and Cremation Service® Personal Planning Guide, a free booklet that records your choices for funeral and cemetery services in one convenient place so your family will know your wishes when the time comes.
