Another morbid mortuary review.
I have been to this Sinai many times as this is the Jewish mortuary in Phoenix and they have handled many of my family member's funerals, etc. This is not a fun nor easy process for anyone and since I had to use Sinai in Lafayette to help me coordinate it was a better process than I could have anticipated.
There is something about 6 degrees of separation, but I have longed joked that in the Jewish community, there is usually a 2 degree separation if you get down to it.
The Sinai's (not the same business but have affiliation as do most if not all Jewish Mortuaries), did most of the coordination behind the scenes between CA and AZ. Getting my Grandmother's body to AZ and given the Jewish Holiday that could have prevented some timeline stuff, I was worried. My family lucked out that everyone worked together seamlessly and I flew in to Phoenix, met my Mother and Mark at Sinai and made the arrangements.
My Gram was buried next to my Grandfather and Sinai took care of everything from the police escort(my Gram would have loved knowing all traffic was stopped for her) to the ensuring her obituary was in the paper, etc. There were few decisions we had to make (luckily we were aware of my Gram's wishes) and though this is not a business that is fun to review, it is important to know that businesses like this exist.
