Jewish traditions

Beit Shalom Chapel at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel In keeping with Jewish tradition, the K'vurah (burial) should be as expedient as possible. We are able to accommodate these immediate needs and are familiar with the religious customs that express the dignity and sanctity of a Jewish funeral. Taharah (ritual washing in our mikveh) is provided by the Greater Boston Chevra Kadisha (holy society). In addition, arrangements for a shomer (a watchman) are made at a family's request, and cotton or hand-sewn linen tachrichim (burial shroud) are available. A large selection of oron (caskets) are guaranteed free of metal and have been manufactured in a facility that does not operate on Shabbat. We also provide families with kriah ribbons, yahrzeit calendars, shiva benches and shiva candles.

For those unaffiliated with a synagogue, our funeral directors work closely with orthodox, conservative and reform rabbis from our community who conduct dignified chapel and graveside services that console the family and honor the deceased.

We love hearing from the families we serve. Their feedback helps us continue creating meaningful celebrations that honor loved ones with unparalleled attention to detail.

I am out of town and an actual funeral ceremony was not feasible. Stanetsky took care of everything for me, including holding onto last effects until I could get to Boston. Very impressed.

It's unclear how the grave site will be handled by the cemetery staff. (The grave surface is uneven and well below the surrounding ground. Will grass be seeded? And so on.) Also, I would like to have your professional advice about the gravestone choices and its installation. - Thank you for your attention to these issues. ...
