There Are Options When Choosing Jewish Cemeteries In New Jersey

By Rachael Gutierrez


After the loss of a loved one, people are often left with difficult choices to make. Thankfully, Jewish cemeteries in New Jersey provide options. The selection process can be daunting. This article is to help you explore your options.

Facing the unexpected costs of a funeral can be overwhelming. Request from the funeral home, a categorized listing of what they include in their price. Some funeral homes may include the chapel or synagogue but not the memorial or graveside service. Having a list shows you not only what is included, but also what may be needed that is not included.

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.

If someone passed after they moved away or while traveling, most cemeteries will work with you to arrange to have the body brought back to New Jersey. This can be quite helpful. They can make all of the arrangements for you, so that you do not have to deal with more than one funeral home.

Careful consideration should be taken when looking at options for burial, cremation or entombment. Markers, gravestones and monuments are a lovely way of showing remembrance and should be taken into reflective contemplation. Make sure that you keep in mind the size, color, shape, design and the quality of the monuments.

If your loved one was someone who often donated to charitable organizations, you may want to ask people to make donations to his favorite charities. You can always speak with the funeral director for guidance regarding specific charities. You may also request that they provide you with a list of charities, if you are unsure.

In the State of New Jersey, if you do not wish to have your loved one embalmed, the final disposition must take place before 48 hours have passed. The need for prompt arrangements is crucial if you wish for the final disposition to take place within the first 48 hours. If 48 hours passes, without the final disposition, then the state requires that embalming takes place.

Speak with family and friends regarding which facilities they have used in the past. Ask relevant questions. Find out if they were happy with the services that were provided. If they were unhappy, ask why.

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.

When you are looking for Jewish cemeteries in New Jersey, make your decisions based on information not emotion. Do not make any decisions until you have done your research. Make sure you ask questions. Check with other nearby facilities. Keep the wishes of your loved one in mind.
