With two decades experience as a

THE IRA KAUFMAN CHAPEL approach

U

nder the best of circumstances, time moves so

swiftly that we don't even notice until the leaves

begin to fall or the snow starts to melt. But,

planning ahead makes the change in any season

more bearable.

and expertise to satisfy your requirements of a

Pre-Arranged Funeral.
