FAMILY
SERVICE
Since 1923 when the Berschler family began in funeral service, the warmth and the feeling of being at a friend's home have been carried on for four generations. From the early days of Benjamin and Jennie Berschler and his brother Joseph and Sarah Berschler to their children, David and Beatrice, Leonard and Berte and Albert and Joan, the third generation, Howard Shenberg and Wendy Berschler Shenberg, daughter and son-in-law of Albert and Joan Berschler, and now their daughter Kimberly and her husband Scott, the fourth generation now continues this tradition. Over the years the family acquired the Asher firm as well as the Charles I. Kahn firm. And today, almost 85 years later, that same feeling of warmth comes through at every service conducted by the family from our Philadelphia Area and Southern New Jersey locations. We are the only Jewish funeral home with chapels in both the Philadelphia, PA areas (serving Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh and Montgomery Counties) and Southern New Jersey areas (serving Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Monmouth Counties).
OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is to pay careful attention to the wishes of each family
member and to make every funeral arrangement meaningful to those involved.
We serve only one family at a time. Every family has different ideas about
what a funeral should be. This is why we believe it is necessary to offer
alternatives. Together with the family, we can create a service of remembrance
as unique as the individual being remembered. We are dedicated to alleviating
the stress associated with the funeral process. This is best accomplished
through our diligence in planning and in the execution of every detail
the family desires. In addition, we know cost is an important factor for
most families. This is why we promise to provide the finest service at
competitive prices. We offer a wide choice of services and merchandise
so that each family may have a funeral that is truly a reflection of their
love and good taste.
OUR SERVICES
Having had the opportunity to meet and serve so many families over the
years, we have learned how important it is for each family to preserve
their individuality. We offer a large assortment of services from each
of our facilities. Families may select funeral services and merchandise
for at-need or pre-need services from one source. We also offer assistance
with veterans, lodge and social security benefits. We can assist with
the purchase or inscription of a monument or marker as well as supply
information about the unveiling ceremony and its procedures. If a death
takes place out of town or out of the country, we can assist by engaging
a local funeral director to handle the transfer and clear all government
requirements. We will book the necessary flights for the deceased and
the family, if desired.
OUR
FACILITIES
All of the conveniences necessary for the comfort of the immediate family,
as well as their relatives and friends attending the services are here
within an esthetically pleasing atmosphere. We have both large and small
chapels available incorporating many special features for your comfort
and convenience. We have additional chapel locations in Northeast Philadelphia
and Broomall, PA. All locations are specially designed to allow for ease
of entrance and exit no matter how large the attendance. Air conditioning
and custom amplification are available throughout each building. Each
facility is easily accessible by public transportation or major roads.
Ample parking areas are available at each location.
ADVANCE
PLANNING
There is a growing trend toward planning funeral services in advance of
need, just as the thoughtful person secures life insurance to protect
his family. For those who wish this service, our family staff offers their
services. Competent, friendly experts will gladly offer advice or explain
any information about modern funeral service. This service incurs no obligation
and is offered so that you may avoid costly errors in the pre - planning
process.
We
sincerely hope that you will feel free to consult with us concerning any
questions you may have. There is never any cost or obligation to discuss
any of these matters by telephone or in person.
