FOUR GENERATIONS OF HELPING FAMILIES
For 70 years, there's one thing that has never stood in the way of The Ira Kaufman Chapel
working with a family that needs us - money.
During all of the ups and downs of Michigan's history, we have always maintained our
commitment to flexibility on costs. And we always will.
We don't believe in "extras" - we won't charge you for a Sharper, and we won't charge you
for Web streaming. But, we will always be fair, whenever you need us.
