Questions families ask in the first hour

Can we arrange things before a death?

Yes. Funeral homes take arrangements in advance, so the family has fewer decisions in the hardest week. Ask the featured home, or any home in the list below.

The death was in Florida. What happens?

Call the Long Island funeral home first. They arrange a funeral home in Florida to prepare your loved one, handle the transit permit, and bring them home for burial at the family's cemetery.

How soon does the burial have to be?

As soon as possible, usually within a day or two. It can wait for close family to travel, and never takes place on Shabbat or a major Jewish holiday.

What will it cost?

Every funeral home must give you its price list when you ask, by phone or in person, before you decide anything. Grave and opening fees come from the cemetery.

We don't own a plot. What now?

Several Long Island Jewish cemeteries still sell graves. The funeral home calls them for you.

They passed at home. Who do we call?

If hospice was involved, the hospice nurse first; otherwise 911. Then a Jewish funeral home, which comes to the home.

Can we arrange things before a death?
