About Riverside Memorial Chapel

Riverside Memorial Chapel is a Jewish funeral home at 180 West 76th Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Its Dignity Memorial page says the firm began in 1897 as a livery business on the Lower East Side and opened the Upper West Side location in 1926. The page describes services from traditional washing and shmira to the tearing of garments and an unadorned wooden casket, says it serves Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and secular families, and says it is the only Jewish Funeral Directors of America member in Manhattan. Tahara, a shomer and tachrichim are not described on the site in detail — ask the home directly. No price list is published on the page.
