Full Halachic Care for Bergenfield Families
When a Bergenfield family turns to Eden Memorial, they receive complete Halachic care from the moment we are called. Our team arranges tahara, the ritual washing and purification of the deceased, performed with dignity and in keeping with Jewish funeral customs and law. We also provide shomer, or shmirah, so that a loved one is never left unattended before burial, honoring the tradition of respect for the dead.
Because Bergenfield is home to a growing Orthodox community alongside Conservative and Reform families, we coordinate closely with rabbis across every level of observance. Whether your family keeps strict Halachic practice or a more liberal approach to Jewish tradition, our funeral directors work with your rabbi, or help connect you with one, to ensure every step reflects your family's wishes. Prompt burial, a central value in Jewish law, remains a priority in every arrangement we make for Bergenfield families.
Traditional Funeral and Burial Services
Eden Memorial offers a full range of traditional funeral and burial services for Bergenfield families, including chapel services, graveside services, and memorial services held either at our Fort Lee chapel or at a cemetery of your choosing. We also provide veterans services, including burial flags for those who served, and can arrange funerals that follow Medicaid guidelines when needed.
For families who want to personalize a service, we offer tribute videos, keepsakes, and livestreaming so relatives who cannot travel to Bergenfield can still take part. Families connected to a fraternal organization may also be served through the Jewish Charitable Burial Society, which safeguards cemetery maps and burial permits for participating societies.
Why Bergenfield Families Choose Eden Memorial
