Alan
H.D
orfman Funeral Direction
"I have served the Jewish com-
munity for almost a quarter of a
century, personally handling the
funeral needs of over 2,000
Detroit area families."
To follow Jewish law, philosophy and tradition, Jewish funerals should
be dignified, religious, and modest. Years ago, there was a brief psalm
service in the deceased's home and the major service was graveside.
Today graveside funeral services are preferred by approximately 1/3 of
our Jewish community, increasing in number each year. Gravesides are
less drawn out, less stressful, eliminate the dangerous procession and
offer the comfort and respect of friends and relatives standing shoulder
to shoulder fulfilling the mitzvah of accompanying the deceased to the
final resting place. Many cemeteries also have beautiful chapels on the
grounds for small or large services.
The Alan H. Dorfman Funeral Direction offers the best of both worlds.
Other funeral homes charge the same price for gravesides as costly
funeral chapel services. We offer dignified, professional service at
considerable savings. We carry quality, crafted burial caskets also at
substantially lower prices than other funeral establishments. We enable
families to save up to $1,000 or more on graveside services.
In addition, arrangements are made in the comfort and convenience of
your own home. We personally and professionally handle every detail
allowing you time to care for yourself and your loved ones.
The deceased is handled with strict adherence to Halachah and with the
utmost respect and reverence.
The Alan H. Dorfman Funeral Direction is now serving the
entire Jewish community with dignity, sanctity and modesty.
Alternative synagogue and temple services offered; Pre-need
funeral arrangements are available.
