When the shadows set in
Life is precious. But the flip side of the whole reality is that: life is short and it comes to an inevitable end without the permission of either the deceased or their family. As one of the most celebrated and trusted funeral directors in Brooklyn, Masada Memorial Chapels are covenanted partners that will stand with you and your family during such dark moments when the sun of life goes down on the lives of your loved ones.
A wise choice in the hour of need
Just like in every other place, the sad visitation of death’s cruel hand upon a family will require them to seek the help of the best funeral directors in Brooklyn, the same way they would have done in San Francisco or London. However, it should be noted that funeral directors in Brooklyn, NY are not entertainment service givers who are out to excite tourists. All those who seek the services of funeral directors are people who are already wounded by an irreplaceable loss of a loved one.
This logically and practically means that funeral directors should be chosen carefully because the wrong choice will definitely add to the festering wounds that the bereaved family and friends are already nursing. So, as you seek to get the help, not just “services”, of a funeral director, use the following yard stick to select them. If they want in any of these qualifications, then you will know whom to choose. At Masada Memorial Chapels, we have made it our traditional endeavor to conform to all of these as a matter of moral principle and covenant obligation.
> Provide support, not just services
As stated earlier, those who seek the hand of funeral directors in Brooklyn are already wounded people who are yet to attain healing and that in a slow manner. It is very important for those engaged in this profession to know that this is also a calling that brings them in a pivotal place between the living and the deceased. To the bereaved, they need to be facilitative agents of healing, moral support and comfort. On the other hand, they also need to be trustworthy stewards to facilitate the honorable and the dignified success of life’s last journey that the deceased have embarked on.
This is where everything ought to begin. If this is not achieved, then any other services provided will have little value to the Avelim (mourners) because people know real friends in time of need and during such times they don’t care how much you know (professionally) until they know how much you do care for them enough to empathize with their wounded souls. That is why in the painful moments of bereavement, the Avelimwill always look for fellow humans to lean on them for comfort and support, and not just services and rites.
> A wide spectrum of professional services
From the above paragraph, we have seen that a good funeral director in Brooklyn must not just provide professional services but also priceless human support. This is the foundation upon which real funeral directors need to build their profession. If services are not adequate and sufficiently provided then that particular individual or body of individuals will automatically and technically cease to be funeral directors in Brooklyn, NY and any other place the world over.
All these services must cut across core areas such as funeral rites, embalming (if necessary), burial or cremation (if necessary), planning and performing the actual funeral ceremony. This is the basis upon which any satisfactory, meaningful, and successful engagement with the Avelim will be laid. Below is a list of some of these basic services.
· Graveside service
· One-day funeral service
· Two-day funeral service
· Memorial services
· Transportation services
· Funeral pre-planning
· Funeral pre-funding
· Helping to choose a cemetery
· Referral of funeral service clergy
> Legal and customary compliance
Just like every other stage in life, the departure of a loved one has been subject to statutory and customary laws (as contained in the Torah) that need to be followed to the letter. This is not justs Jewish thing; it is a common practice the world over. This therefore makes it necessary for all funeral directors in Brooklyn and the world over to be compliant with all these regulations besides offering human support, professional services and performing funeral rites.
This burden of compliance will affect the following key areas:
· The kind of casket
· The duration of mourning
· The date of burial
· The roles played by the Avelim during funeral services
· The venue of burial
· The kind and quality of human support for the Avelim
· Procession to the graveside
· Proceedings at the graveyard
. Proceedings at funeral services
