Obi tt 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 60 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.
