Chesed Shel Emes

Chesed Shel Emes Funeral Home was established in 1967 as a non profit organization by a coalition of Orthodox synagogues in Montreal. Its mission is to ensure Jews of Quebec a traditional Jewish funeral to the highest standards of Jewish law, at the lowest cost possible. This was made possible by the age old Jewish tradition of "Chesed Shel Emes" (... a true good deed) meaning a good deed one gets no remuneration for. This tradition dates back to our fore father Abraham who was the pillar of kindness in the world. Ever since, in Jewish community's the world over, there has always been a group of people called "Chevra Kadisha" (Holy association) who would prepare and bury the deceased, totally free of charge.

Hence the lower cost.Read More
