Eden Memorial Chapels has served the Jewish community for more than 30 years, and we are family owned and operated. That means our commitment is to the families we serve, not to shareholders. The person who answers the phone at two in the morning is one of our own, and the director who sits with you the next day is the one who will be present at the service.
We accommodate Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, secular Jewish, and interfaith families with equal care. Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform rabbis are available, and we provide Tahara and Shomer, monuments and inscriptions, and Medicaid guideline funerals. Because our chapel sits just minutes from the George Washington Bridge, we reach every cemetery in the tri-state area quickly, and we also arrange worldwide shipping and transfers to Israel.
We believe in sensible, transparent pricing. You should never have to ask twice what something costs, and you should never learn a number for the first time while sitting across a desk.
Services Offered
Complete Jewish funeral planning that honors Halachic custom. We coordinate Tahara and Shomer, arrange the chapel or graveside service, work with your rabbi, and handle prompt burial timing and every cemetery detail across the tri-state area.
Our team arranges tahara, the sacred ritual purification, along with shomer services to ensure the deceased is never left unattended before burial, in keeping with Jewish tradition.
While Jewish tradition favors burial, we offer cremation options for families who choose this path, providing thoughtful guidance that respects each family's beliefs and preferences.
We help families prepare heartfelt obituaries and memorial tributes that thoughtfully capture the life, character, and legacy of their loved one.

Leonia, NJ — Local Details & Service Area Insight
Leonia is a small, close-knit borough in Bergen County, settled in the area once known as the English Neighborhood and incorporated in 1894. Home to roughly 9,300 residents, it has been called the Athens of New Jersey since the late 19th century, when painters, writers, and performers settled here for the quiet streets and quick access to Manhattan. That character still shows today in the Player's Guild of Leonia, one of New Jersey's oldest continuing community theater companies, and in the Erika and David Boyd Sculpture Garden and the Sculpture for Leonia works placed along Broad Avenue and in Wood Park.
Broad Avenue is the borough's main hub, lined with local restaurants, an H Mart, and the stop for the NJ Transit 166 express bus to the Port Authority in Manhattan. On Leonia's western edge sits Overpeck County Park, more than 800 acres surrounding Overpeck Creek, with the Henry Hoebel Area and its 9/11 World Trade Center memorial running alongside Fort Lee Road. Grand Avenue (Route 93) runs through the center of town, and Interstate 95 passes along the northern edge, placing Leonia about two miles from the George Washington Bridge.
