Jewish Cemeteries In New Jersey

By Rachael Gutierrez


Losing someone you love is always difficult. Knowing what to do can be quite a challenge. Determining which Jewish cemeteries in New Jersey to turn to, can be quite a challenge. Fortunately, there are several options. Here is information about the many decisions that must be made in order to best choose what will fit your needs.

As you know, the cost of funerals can be expensive. It is best to request quotes from several different cemeteries. Find out if the synagogue or chapel, graveside and memorial services are included. Ask for an itemized list of what is included in their price.

If your loved one practiced more non-traditional beliefs, you should examine a more non-traditional service. If he practiced more traditional beliefs, you should consider a more traditional service. If he was conservative, reformed or orthodox in his beliefs, you might incorporate that into the service. Make sure that his customs are taken into consideration. If you do not have one, many cemeteries will offer the provision of a Rabbi.

The loss of someone you love is painful enough, but when it is unexpected and they are out of town, the process of bringing them back to New Jersey can be frustrating. Speak with the funeral directors regarding arrangements to bring them home. Many times, they will make the arrangements with the other funeral home so that you will not have to deal with both of them.

Make sure to keep design and quality in mind when considering gravestones, markers and monuments. It is also important to consider the color, size and shape as well. Many cemeteries offer choices when it comes to burial, entombment and cremation. Speak with other friends and family members about your loved ones wishes when considering those options.

Consider whether or not you wish to have people make donations to charitable organizations. When unsure of how to make these arrangements, you can always request a list of charities for this purpose. If there is a specific charity that you wish to acknowledge, make sure to ask the director for assistance.

In New Jersey, if a final disposition takes place within 48 hours it is not required to have the body embalmed. It is required by law if the final disposition has not taken place within that amount of time. It is imperative to make prompt arrangements if you wish for the final disposition to occur within the first 48 hours.

If you are still unsure of which business to use, ask friends, neighbors and other family members. You will find that people have no problem sharing with you which funeral homes had quality service and which ones did not. Word of mouth can be the best form of advertising for any business.

Some people choose preplanning services in order to make their passing less painful for their loved ones. They choose and pay for the services and rabbi they want, based on their customs and beliefs. This allows them to choose whether they want to be buried, entombed or cremated, thus eliminating those difficult decisions from the people they love.

During this time, you may have to show some resolve. Take time and research the options that are available to you. Ask specific questions. Visit several Jewish cemeteries in New Jersey to see what they offer. Respect the person your loved one was. Base your decisions on what they would want, and what you can afford.
