About Goldsteins' Rosenberg's Raphael Sacks

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 business formed through mergers of three historic Jewish funeral firms: Morris Rosenberg (1877), Raphael-Sacks (1911), and Goldsteins' Memorial Chapel (1944). They maintain five chapel locations in Philadelphia, the surrounding suburbs, and Southern New Jersey, and serve Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, interfaith, and non-denominational families.
