Our Mission
Opened as an alternative for our community, it is our mission to provide the Jewish population of Rochester with an affordable, modern and convenient choice at a time when the need is most important. We pledge to utilize our local ownership to offer a dignified array of services to Jewish families, and give back to the community we live in and serve.
Large corporations answer to shareholders and investors. We answer to YOU – the members of our community. In our locally owned, single facility company, there are no pressures to increase profits or grow to other communities. The owner, Jarrod M. Krieger, is a life-long resident of Rochester, committed to the community he lives, works, volunteers, and is raising his children in.
We encourage you to arrange a meeting to view our facility, meet our staff and discuss your funeral needs. You are NEVER obligated to use our services.

News & Events
We are proud to announce the purchase of the Parsky-Levy Memorial Chapel. The sale officially took place on June 26, 2009, and we would like to thank the Epsteins and David Levy for a very smooth transition.
In the past four years, the community has had a choice between two exclusively Jewish funeral homes. The competition was healthy for the Jewish community. But in the end, from a business standpoint, it became clear that two separate Jewish firms could not survive. The Epsteins approached us, and asked if we would have an interest in purchasing their Rochester location. This past spring we mutually agreed for the sale to go through.
