EverJewish Assessment
Goldsteins' Rosenberg's Raphael Sacks is Philadelphia's oldest Jewish funeral home, operating continuously for over 140 years across five generations of family ownership. The firm was formed through mergers of Morris Rosenberg (1877), Raphael-Sacks (1911), and Goldsteins' Memorial Chapel (1944). It serves Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, interfaith, and non-denominational families from five chapel locations in Philadelphia, the suburbs, and Southern New Jersey.
