An agency of loving kindness
We use the word chesed to describe caring for the dead: acts of kindness offered with no thought of thanks or repayment.
Chevra Kadisha has been an essential part of Jewish community life for centuries.
Serving the community since 1930
We serve Jewish individuals regardless of denomination, affiliation, or level of observance. No one is denied service due to financial constraints as we ensure access to dignified funeral and burial care.
Our Chevra Kadisha – the Holy Society
Our Chevra is a diverse group of individuals who participate in all aspects of caring for the deceased. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve the community in significant and meaningful ways.
Our History
Chevra Kadisha have existed for centuries, and we continue a proud tradition of care and consideration. We are humbled and honored by the trust placed in us by the community.
A Community-based, Volunteer Organization
Staff and volunteers are hands-on, actively participating in ritual preparation, sewing shrouds, acting as pallbearers and as Directors of the volunteer Board.
Celebrating Our Donors
Thanks to our generous supporters, we were able to replace our aging administrative building with a new facility designed specifically for our needs. We are grateful for the moral and financial support of so many community members.
