Compassionate care for our community

We are a committed group of volunteers within the Northern Rivers Jewish community, dedicated to providing respectful and dignified care for those we've lost.

With deep respect for Halacha, our team carefully prepares the deceased for burial, ensuring each step is done with honor and sensitivity. From the sacred ritual of Tahara to arranging a respectful burial, we offer support and guidance to families during life's most challenging times.

If you are in need of our support, please get in touch with us.
