When Death Occurs

Whatever time of the day or night, when a death occurs, we are here for you, and we ask that you call the synagogue at 516-883-3144.

If someone is not immediately available, a message on our answering machine will direct you to one of our Rabbis or to our Cantor. If a death occurs at night, please note that arrangements for funerals cannot be made until the next day, although the funeral home of your choice (and which you call directly) can pick up the deceased at any hour.

The support and counsel of our clergy is always available in a time of emergency. In most instances, when a death occurs at night, you can call any of our clergy early the following morning to make the necessary arrangements (including finding a funeral home in the area).

The day and hour of the funeral service should be decided only after consultation with the officiating Rabbi and/or Cantor. Please do not assume that a time for the funeral is set until this is confirmed by the Rabbi and/or Cantor.
