2. VISION & VALUES
As an essential community service organization for Jewish end-of-
life services & burial, we are committed to maintaining both our
sacred & not-for-profit traditions, while embracing evolving
Jewish practices. Our hallmarks will always be to honor the
dignity of the deceased & to provide compassion & support for the
living.
We are committed to excellence in all we do: delivering unrivaled
services, knowledgeable staff, comforting facilities, honesty &
integrity in all of our practices and fair prices. As responsible
stewards of our community’s century-old Chevra Kadisha, we are
committed to its perpetuation. We believe:
• Chesed Shel Emet, the truest acts of kindness, is the motivating
principle of our Chevra Kadisha, our holy burial society.
• K’vod Hamet, honoring the deceased, is our guide, first & foremost.
• Satisfaction for those making arrangements, mourners, & their
comforters is our measure of success.
• Being aware of changing community needs & industry practices is
essential.
• Having a dedicated, knowledgeable, staff is the key to meeting the
needs of mourners & their comforters.
• Collaborating with congregations, rabbis, administrators, &
cemeteries is critical to our strength.
• Communicating to the Jewish community, to our members & to
the unaffiliated will be informative, educational, & respectful.
• Our services will consistently represent a fair value to those we
serve.
• Our earnings will be used to assure the respectful burial of all
regardless of means. We will maintain the dignity of our facilities
& services in order to sustain our viability & strength for future
generations & to support Jewish education & the general welfare
of our Jewish community.
