Wow, what an amazing positive experience I had with this place when my brother passed away on…read more12/27/24. His daughter and I had no idea where to start from, and a local rabbi, Rabbi Heshy Ceitlin, recommended I call Kehila Chapels. I'm so glad I did because the Sabbath had just begun, and I wasn't sure that I would even be able to get a hold of anybody there, but they have staff working to help you. Help is an understatement here. From the first person, Rosalyn, to pick up the phone and give you the information, to Daniel the owner, to John the manager, it was nothing but empathy and understanding and caring and such a desire to help you every step of the way. My brother had passed away in Sheepshead Bay Rehab and Nursing Home, and they refused to keep the body there until after the Sabbath because they supposedly don't have refrigeration. After speaking to Kehila and being told that they would be there within three hours to pick up the body, they were there in about 15 minutes. It was unbelievable. John continued to avail himself to us day and night and specifically spell out everything that we could possibly need to know for the burial service. Rosalyn was so efficient that sometimes we did not even need to speak with John. Then, to add icing to the cake, Kehila Chapels got us a rabbi, Rabbi Menachem Sperling, who is out of this world. He also went above and beyond by gathering all the information that he could about my brother from me and my niece and putting together a speech that blew the minds of the attendees at the funeral. There was nothing but raving about him afterwards. He is so wonderful and pleasant and has a knack for combining both seriousness and slight humor to make everyone feel at ease. Both the Rabbi and John from Kehila even checked in another day after the funeral was over to see how my niece was doing since she is my brother's only child. I see that Yelp is asking to mention value in my review. I really don't have anything to compare it to, but I have been told that this is the cheapest place to call. John was very specific in going over every single detail to see what you want or don't want included and what price it would be. In summary, when you are in shock when someone passes away and you don't even know where to start from, just call Kehila. They are great at calming you down and reassuring you that everything will be handled correctly on their end, and they definitely come through for you!
