Parkside Memorial Chapels

Parkside Memorial Chapels, located at 114-03 Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, New York, has been a cornerstone of the Jewish community for over 70 years. Originally established by the Goldstein, Sherman, and Yassky families, this funeral home has long provided compassionate care and support to families during their most difficult times. Today, Parkside Memorial Chapels is proud to be part of the Dignity Memorial network, a commitment that ensures families receive the highest level of service and the benefits of North America's largest network of funeral and cemetery providers.

As a Jewish-specialty funeral home, Parkside Memorial Chapels understands the deep significance of Jewish funeral traditions. They offer services that honor the deceased with the dignity and respect prescribed by Jewish law, while also accommodating the modern lifestyles of contemporary families. The funeral directors are well-versed in the customs of Orthodox, Conservative, and Reformed Judaism, and they work closely with families to create a meaningful service that blends tradition with personal touches. The facility itself is designed to support these traditions, featuring a dedicated tahara room for ritual washing, a large kohanim building that allows guests to observe services via closed-circuit television without being under the same roof as the deceased, and the ability to arrange for a shomer and kosher catering. Parkside also offers direct immediate burial and can coordinate burials in Israel.

The two-story building is spacious and filled with natural light, with two large chapels—one seating 350 and the other seating 175—both featuring traditional pews. The bright, open foyer welcomes guests, and a compassionate team member greets every visitor at the door, treating them like friends and neighbors. While specializing in Jewish traditions, Parkside Memorial Chapels serves people of all cultures, faiths, and backgrounds, offering funeral, memorial, and burial services. They also provide cremation services and the option for pre-planning to lock in today's prices for future services.

Parkside Memorial Chapels is wheelchair accessible with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. The facility offers free on-site parking and has ample space for guests. The team is available 24/7, and arrangements can be made in person, by phone, or by email. They also provide grief support through their 24-hour Compassion Helpline and assist with obituaries, death certificates, travel arrangements, and insurance claims. With a strong reputation in the community and a commitment to personalized care, Parkside Memorial Chapels is dedicated to exceeding expectations and helping families celebrate the lives of their loved ones.
