This is one of those hidden gem services that I was lucky enough to come across as I searched for a solution to my “what if” problem. Specifically, what if my 93 year old mother dies, then what do I do. Enter Dallas Jewish Funerals…the solution people with an abundance of kindness. My mom died shortly after I contracted for their help. The day she died, they swooped in to take care of her. They provided respect to mom, and an abundance of kindness and compassion toward me, her daughter. Sarah and Catherine again called me to ask how I was doing a year after my mother’s death. Wonderful, compassionate people who provide a service at life’s conclusion. Highly recommend to others who wonder “what if?”

Everyone who works at Dallas Jewish Funerals is so knowledgeable, understanding and compassionate. I made one phone call when my dad passed away, and they took care of the rest. I am very grateful, that in the time of need, I had these people who took care of everything. And they check in with me regularly to see how I am doing. This is the care you need when you are mourning your loved one.

Ana and Rabbi Craig were a pleasure to deal with and more than accommodating. No matter the day or time, Ana would oblige any request. Rabbi Craig delivered a heartfelt sincere service and is still assisting us after the funeral. He is a gifted speaker, a skilled lister, and truly compassionate. Dallas Jewish Funerals certainly made the most difficult time in our life much easier. You would do yourself and your loved ones a great service by making the call in your time of need.

Wesley Huston June 11, 2024

Over three years ago we contacted Dallas Jewish Funerals to get information regarding funeral preparations for my father. He wanted to be part a say in how his funeral was to be done. He would need to be transported from Dallas to Phoenix so that he could be laid to rest next to my mother. Fast forward to three weeks ago when my father passed away peacefully. I called Dallas Jewish Funerals and was pleased to know that they had started a file on my father with the details we had outlined 3 years ago. They were able to transfer my father's body from here to the airport in preparation for his flight to Phoenix. They reached out to the mortuary in Phoenix and coordinated the transfer. It all went off without a hitch. Since then, they have reached out to us multiple times to offer condolences, support and to answer any and all questions we had, and even some we didn't know we needed to ask. The team we had working with us is absolutely amazing! They are so kind and incredibly efficient in a difficult time. They have promised to continue to reach out to us with resources as we need. Truly a class act with amazing people during a difficult time. Thank you Dallas Jewish Funerals!!

This has been the most professional and compassionate group of individuals we have ever met. From the first call we made to them, the very first words was condolences rather than price up front. The integrity and professionalism they handled Anthony will never be forgotten. Ana Arias and Rabbi Craig Rosentstein handled everything and helped us when we had nothing and no one in our corner. Words could not describe how much they helped lay our loved one to rest. Thank you you guys were a true mitzvah to us we love you!

Everything about our experience with Dallas Jewish Funerals was ideal. Thoughtful, caring, communicative and responsive. Obviously that time for any family can be emotional and difficult, but DJF - and everyone who works there - made things very easy for us - and all of them were kind and understanding. They had a complete grasp of what is needed and how to service their clients. We are very thankful and happy.

Meaders Ozarow September 07, 2023

Jack M. Wolfson was a good friend my wife and I had known for 45 years. He lived in the neighborhood about two blocks away from our house. Jack was Jewish and we are Christians but that never affected our friendship. Jack began to have significant medical problems starting in May and it progressed to his death on September 3, 2023. Jack was a somewhat private person and we learned after his death that he had not made any plans or had any funds for his funeral. He was essentially living only on his monthly Social Security. We had no clue as to what to do. My wife read an article about free Jewish burials in New York City. The main problem was we would have to ship Jack’s body there. She asked if there was anyone in the Dallas area that could help and she was given the phone number for Dallas Jewish Funerals (DJF). This started us on the difficult road to take care of Jack. The people at DJF we unsure of what funds we might be able to provide but they stepped forward anyway and made everything happen, including a burial place at Shearith Israel Memorial Park. The burial ceremony was excellent, including Rabbi Howard Wolk and two representative from DJF, Ana Arias and Esmeralda. Ana even handed out kippahs for Jack’s non-Jewish friends. I also want to express my sincere appreciation for the tireless effort by Alan Tolmas who was the main driving force for accomplishing all that needed to be done to make this successful.

Barry Newberg May 19, 2023

When I was faced with the challenging task of planning a funeral for my father, I was totally NOT prepared. He shared his end-of-life-requests on a daily basis as he felt 90 years was a long life and he’s ready to go. While I was aware of his physical and mental decline--he was too. In late December he didn't recover from a broken hip and his passing was unexpected. My son made the ONE call that got me through this tragedy: the personal kindness and knowledge that Steve Blend brings to the table. He calls back when you leave a message...Quickly able to rescue me /us in detail what the procedure step by step. His assistance was needed to accommodate us with a plot that I thought was pre-arranged, but Steve handled that professionally. The passing of a loved one is so hard but I felt confident in the guidance, promptness, and respect displayed by Dallas Jewish Funerals. We are blessed to have Steve Birnbaum and his follow-up staff and phone personnel as they were very impressive to me! Unfortunately, 50 days later my mother passed but I made the Call…….

My mother died yesterday and my synagogue put me in contact with Dallas Jewish Funerals. I worked with Kyle Ko, who was warm and compassionate and much more personable than the previous funeral home I spoke with. My mom wasn’t Jewish, but Kyle helped me make arrangements that honored her wishes and allows me to begin the mourning process as a Jew. I am so grateful to him and Dallas Jewish Funerals.

Debbie Barnes

The staff was both compassionate and professional. It must have been a challenge, as our service was at the military memorial cemetery and they were giving each funeral only a limited amount of time. Also, there were several of us working on the arrangements - two friends here in Dallas and a son who lives out of state. The rabbi they found did an excellent job, too. We did wish for better live-streaming equipment, but they made do with an iPhone and people were able to follow along.

Your team was amazing, my mom was under so much stress and she had a group of amazing people helping her through everything. Lidia was the sweetest and kindest person due to the holiday weekend we had to spend the weekend there and Lidia was so helpful and spent most of Sunday helping us with everything. The funeral day was hard but your whole team was there to help, even bringing water bottles for the heat of the day. Something sad was made beautiful and we were beyond impressed and grateful.

Thank you for doing a fantastic job of my father Mel's funeral and thank you for all your help. Our family was overwhelmed by the compassion shown to us during this very sad time. You took care of every detail with professionalism, grace and understanding. We appreciated the fact that everything was explained, and guiding us through the process helped while grieving. You have that gift, and families appreciate your ability to help them. We really do not know what we would have done without you. You were our sounding board, you went over and above for us and you can tell you really care about each and everyone of us. Thank you again and again, Jackie Freedman and Family

Jackie Freedman

I cannot put into words my feelings with respect to the professionalism, guidance and caring of the entire staff at Dallas Jewish Funerals. Not being of the Jewish faith, their willingness to answer all my questions and steer me in the right direction was so appreciated. Unfortunately my husband passed away on March 28th and the nation was already in the initial stages of sheltering in place. We were unable to have the service with more than 10 individuals and that is still the case as I write this review. Throughout the entire process, Masha Pavlov has been available to answer all my questions and provide guidance as to when I might be able to conduct a full service for my husband. Even though I have now made the decision to wait until Fall to proceed, they continue to keep me informed and lead me through the process. I am confident they will assist me with all my needs until such time I can gather friends and family for the proper service. I would recommend Dallas Jewish Funerals in a heartbeat.

If you are ever in the unfortunate situation of needing a funeral home in Dallas, Austin or anywhere in Texas don't think twice and use this organization. I was in need of urgent help with a very complicated case and Zane, Anna and their team went so far above and beyond to help us that I am in awe of their capabilities. With a caring attitude, respect and unbelievable efficiency Anna took care of EVERYTHING from start to finish for me and my family. People will tell you that there are Angel's living in this world and I can verify that Anna is one of them. Zane, Anna and team - I am forever indebted to you and your organization for all that you did to make my painful situation as easy as possible. Thank you a million times over !!

I accompanied my father to a different company to plan and prepay his funeral. The large group drew out the meeting, tried to up sell everything and said they would send finalized quote the following day. After two weeks we never heard back, our phone calls were not answered, so he went to Dallas Jewish Funerals. The difference was night and day! At Dallas Jewish Funerals he was warmly welcomed, prices and choices were clear and upfront and the process was what we expected from the start. To top it all off, the cost was ONE THIRD of what the first place quoted for the same coffin, same services and they are non-discriminatory regarding where you are being buried. They work with every cemetery around. I will be going back soon myself to arrange my own services and wish we had used them when my mother past last year. It would have brought me much more peace of mind.

Dallas Jewish Funerals handled both our mother’s funeral in early 2019 and our father’s recent one. In both cases, I cannot express enough how professional, expedient, and simply “on it” they are, with respect to every last detail. Their pricing schedule is very well laid out and very fair; there are no hidden costs, once decisions are made. Their care and work ethic, along with their compassion are second to none. Both Masha and Lydia teamed up to do everything we wanted, and they prepared us for everything. Highly recommend.

PERFECT. Kind, courteous, thoughtful, efficient. Couldn't have asked for better care of my husband, me or our children during the worst time of our lives - losing my husband and their father - especially in the most trying of times - the first days of the shut down/lock down/craziness of the world - when the Coronavirus was first hitting us all. In the best of times, it is the most painful time of our life, but in the worst of times, it was done with not one glitch.

My wife passed away in the Dallas area visiting our children. We live in Columbus, Ohio and had little knowledge of what was available in the Dallas area for Jewish funeral services. I was referred to Dallas Jewish Funerals by someone who had used their services and was very pleased. I contacted Masha and she came to the hospital in Irving where my wife was in Hospice and met with us about what they could offer. Everything was handled in a first rate manner. We had a memorial service at their very attractive facilities in Plano and they handled all of the arrangements for her transfer back to Ohio, including coordinating with the funeral home in Ohio, about all the arrangements on that end. Thanks to Masha and Lydia, a very sad situation was far less stressful because of the help they provided me and my family during this time.
