OBITUARIES Ancient tradition meets the needs of a modern world. Continued from Page 134 Lois Katz; three grand- daughters; one great-grand- son. 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. SYLVIA KORBY, 81, of Oak Park, died Jan. 29.
