Weinstein Mortuary

After attending a Funeral for one of my close relatives on 5÷3÷2015 I find it important to include a description of what occurred at the Cemetery Service.
Upon arrival at the Cemetery and walking up to the Grave, I observed a small metal bucket with two small shovels and a little dirt in it, positioned in close proximity to the grave. Because of this, it was impossible to properly perform the ritual.
That was all that was available to perform the Levayah.
Below is what is customary in the Jewish religion.
It is customary at Jewish funerals for the reverse side of the shovel to be used when depositing dirt on the casket (Levayah). This is to indicate the mourners’ despair at performing such a task. It is also the custom at Jewish funeral ceremonies to insert the shovel in the ground before the subsequent family member picks it up. This is to symbolize the family’s wish that death isn’t contagious, and the next person to perform it is doing it of their own free will. It is also done to indicate an unfamiliarity with the upsetting task of burial.
Ladies and Gentleman, in the name of Adonai Echad, I personally hope that you afford your loved one the Honor and Respect they deserve, and use a Funeral Home, that provides, that Honor, Blessing and Integrity you all deserve.
AMEN!

It’s the kind of business that none of us ever wants to deal with. But it’s a business that most of us will have to deal with sooner or later.
I struggled with the question of whether or not to write a Unilocal review about a funeral home. We see so many reviews about frivolous things here; complaining about warm food and dressing «not on the side as I specifically requested». Coming here, to do what we had to do, puts all of that stuff into a more focused perspective.
I wondered if it would be appropriate to write about something as serious as this. But because we were treated so well, with such respect, and professionalism, and dare I say compassion and kindness, I decided to Unilocal Weinstein Mortuary.
Mort Weinstein was stellar. He walked us through all of the things we needed to know to handle the passing of a family member. He worked with us, and on our behalf, with clergy arrangements, cemetery arrangements, social security, banking and insurance issues, obituary arrangements, municipal certificates, etc.
He was totally professional in every way. He listened to us. He gave us many choices and options. He wasn’t pushy. He made us feel comfortable and cared for.
