If a death has just happened

  1. Call the Jewish funeral home first — not the cemetery. The funeral home brings the deceased into their care, contacts the cemetery and the rabbi, arranges the chevra kadisha and a shomer, and knows what every office in this guide needs. If a hospital or hospice asks which funeral home, name a Jewish one; if the death was at home, the funeral home tells you whom to call.
  2. Decide where. If there is a family plot or a synagogue cemetery, say so; the funeral home confirms the space is available. If not, the cemeteries in this guide marked as selling to the public or confirmed by their office are the place to start, and the funeral home will call the offices for you. Take the time the family needs to choose well; the funeral home and the rabbi will tell you what timing is possible.
  3. Decide when. Jewish tradition favors burial soon after death, and funerals are not held on Shabbat or festivals. Within that, the funeral home proposes a time once the cemetery and rabbi are confirmed, and the family's needs — people travelling, a rabbi's availability — shape it. Your rabbi will guide you on what is right for your family.

What should a family confirm before choosing a Jewish cemetery near Phoenix & Scottsdale?

Whether plots are currently available and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including interfaith and section rules; costs in writing — plot, opening and closing, perpetual care, monument; and which funeral home the cemetery works with. Every cemetery on EverJewish can be asked directly from its page, and questions marked "planning ahead" carry no urgency.
