Beth Israel Memorial Chapel has proudly served the Jewish community since 1982, having started out with one funeral director and a staff of five. Today we employ seven full-time licensed directors and a support staff of more than 35 people, including 19 licensed pre-need counselors. Our expert staff have a combined 280 years of experience in the Jewish funeral services profession.
Over the past 35 years, we have served more than 24,000 families at their time of need, and helped more than 36,000 others make their pre-arrangements. Beth Israel offers such a high level of compassion and service that the families who call on us don’t feel as if they are being treated like just another number. We are also the preferred choice of the area’s most notable and esteemed rabbis, many of whom have entrusted us with their own pre-arrangements.
Beth Israel has built its reputation on quality, sincerity and trust, and we pride ourselves on simplifying the funeral and burial process so that families can make all their arrangements at one convenient location. We help you create a uniquely personal service that is more than just a funeral, cremation or burial arrangement — it is a service that celebrates a life well lived.
A place
like no other
to care for you and your loved ones.

“Gary, thank you so much for your kind attention in handling all the arrangements for my father's funeral. Everything went perfectly and was done with elegance and grace. I was so grateful that my parents had pre-arranged all the necessary details and that you readily accomplished any and all tweaks we had. You removed a lot of anguish from us and I compliment you highly on your entire handling of all the details. It couldn't have been smoother. With gratitude and best regards,”

““We spent several hours at Beth Israel Memorial Chapel getting our pre-need services taken care of. We would especially like to thank our pre-need counselor. He answered all our questions, took the time to explain every option we had, and assisted us in making some very, very important decisions. He was kind, extremely sensitive, patient and we left knowing he cared about us and about the service he provides. His valuable help gives us piece of mind for the future.” ”
