Many families tell us, "We're all set. We already have plots in New York." That's great, but owning burial plots doesn't mean all of the arrangements are taken care of.
If your loved one passes away here in Florida, you still need a funeral home here first. Our job is to:
That's true whether the burial is in New York, New Jersey, California, Morocco, or Israel. The process always starts where your loved one passed away.
Most families don't realize this until they're going through it. Hopefully it's something you won't need anytime soon, but if you do, now you'll know.
If your family has plots out of state, we're glad to walk you through how it works ahead of time. Call Neshama Jewish Funeral Services any time at (954) 744-3432.
We're here 24 hours a day. Call us any time, or send us a message.
