We provide every stage of life planning, from baby naming and Bar Mitzvah to weddings and conversion. Perhaps the most difficult life planning is end-of-life planning but it is just as important as the other milestones. Just as always, we are here to help congregants navigate spiritual and practical issues with kindness and sensitivity to individual needs. Please contact our Ritual Director Avi Mitzner to make an appointment to discuss  End-of-Life planning.

Here is a concise list of information each individual should prepare as part of their end-of-life plan. Having a binder or a file drawer of these documents is excellent practice for everyone but, at the very least, keep the basic information in a fire-safe location for reference…and, of course, make sure a spouse, child, friend or trusted advisor knows the location of this information and your documents.
