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

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

caring that makes a Dorfman difference.
