OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

continued on page 74

Everyone experiences loss differently. And 

while there is a certain structure in Jewish 

funerals and rituals, it’s important that the 

event brings something meaningful to all. We 

understand that. And we treat your family’s 

wishes with all of the respect and compassion 

they deserve. From guiding the arrangements 

without pressure to the memorial service and the 

appearance of the chapel itself, we are here, fully 

here, to meet your every need. It’s not the only way we 

help ease the burden of a loss. But it’s a special type of 

caring that makes a Dorfman difference.
