P
erhaps there is no greater symbol of Kavod Ha-Met (honoring the dead) than
the Shomer, the religious watchman who prays for the soul of the deceased. From
the first family we served 57 years ago, to the present, our chapel is staffed with a
Shomer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our legacy is serving Detroit's Jewish
community with dignity and
adherence to tradition.
