As important as price can be, at a time of need the service provided to you and your family is of the utmost importance. At Star of David Funeral Home, from the moment you contact us, you will be treated with the compassion and dignity you expect and deserve. We will see to it that every aspect of the funeral goes as it should and that all of your requests are carried out in the manner you expected. Because our prices are so much lower than others, we worry that families will think they are getting something less from us. On the contrary, we believe you get more – a lot more.
