Planning Ahead
Plan Today for Peace of Mind Tomorrow
It’s Never Too Early to Plan for the Future
It can be hard to talk about end-of-life wishes, but having these conversations is an important first step to honoring your wishes and protecting your loved ones. Advance planning is a conversation that too many people put off, but it’s a powerful act of self-care and kindness for your loved ones. Talking about it now can bring peace of mind for the future, ensuring your family knows exactly how to honor your legacy.
Put Your Preferences in Writing
Creating a written plan of your funeral preferences gives your family the peace of mind that they’re honoring your wishes. A precise and detailed document leaves no room for ambiguity, making it easier for your loved ones to plan a service that truly represents you. This simple act of planning ahead can provide them with much-needed solace during a challenging time, and helps to avoid the emotional burden of decision-making during moments of grief.
A Lasting Gift to Your Family
Advance planning isn’t just about logistics—it’s about love. When you’ve made choices ahead of time, your family can focus on honoring your life and cherishing memories, rather than worrying about whether they are making the right choices. By taking on the responsibility now, you give them a lasting gift: the ability to grieve and heal without additional stress. It’s a way to show them how much you care, offering the gift of time, clarity, and peace during an emotional period.
Create a Financial Asset
Pre-planning also brings financial peace of mind. Establishing a funeral trust or setting aside funds in advance eases the financial pressure for your family. Funeral costs and end-of-life expenses can add strain during a time of mourning. By addressing these concerns now, you lift that burden from your loved ones and give them the chance to focus on what truly matters: honoring your legacy.
Your Legacy, Your Way
Advance planning ensures that your final wishes are carried out exactly as you envision them, from the service details to the legacy you leave behind. It’s more than just making decisions—it’s about creating a meaningful experience that reflects your values, traditions, and the life you lived. By planning ahead, you take control of your story, leaving a lasting imprint on your family and community.

Let’s Shift the Narrative on Funeral Planning
At Mount Sinai, we provide full-service care from the moment of need through to the final farewell. From transportation and preparation to crafting a personalized funeral, we work closely with each family to ensure every detail reflects the life and legacy of your loved one.
For many families, a funeral rooted in Jewish traditions brings comfort and meaning. Whether held graveside, in a chapel, or at a synagogue, we honor your preferences. While a rabbi often leads the service, any knowledgeable Jewish individual can guide the prayers and rituals.
We also understand that every family is unique, which is why we offer flexibility beyond traditional services. In addition to honoring Jewish burial rituals in accordance with halacha, we can incorporate contemporary elements like music, live webcasting, and memorial websites to create a fitting tribute.
