Malinow and Silverman Mortuary

Malinow and Silverman Mortuary, established in 1927, is the oldest Jewish mortuary in Southern California and has been a trusted pillar of the Los Angeles community for nearly a century. As a family-owned and operated funeral home, it is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care during life’s most difficult moments. Located at 7366 Osage Avenue in Los Angeles, the mortuary is wheelchair accessible and offers a welcoming environment for families of all backgrounds.

Owned and operated by Susan and Eric Rothman, who bring over 40 years of combined experience in the mortuary and cemetery industry, Malinow and Silverman was founded on a shared vision: to deliver a far more caring and individualized approach to funeral service. The Rothmans, having worked for large corporations, recognized the need for a business that prioritizes the family above all else. Their philosophy is simple—treat every family with the utmost dignity, respect, and personal attention. They avoid the traditional “undertaker” image, never showing up in stuffy black suits or making canned sales pitches. Instead, they strive to create a relaxing and comfortable experience, ensuring that families feel supported every step of the way.

Through a partnership with Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries, Malinow and Silverman offers enhanced resources and expertise, helping to guide families through both immediate needs and advanced planning. The mortuary provides a full range of services, including burial and cremation options, as well as pre-planning—a thoughtful gift that spares loved ones from making difficult decisions under stress. Arrangements can be made in the comfort of your own home or place of business, reflecting the mortuary’s commitment to convenience and sensitivity. Additionally, the funeral home offers grief resources and a remembrance suite to help families memorialize their loved ones in meaningful ways.

The best compliment the Rothmans can receive is that they made a difficult and unpleasant task much less stressful for the family. That singular goal drives every aspect of their work. From the first phone call to the final tribute, Malinow and Silverman Mortuary stands as a beacon of warmth, professionalism, and tradition in Los Angeles. For those seeking a funeral home that honors heritage while embracing a modern, caring approach, Malinow and Silverman remains a steadfast choice.
