Brighton Memorial Chapel, Inc.

Brighton Memorial Chapel, Inc. has established itself as a trusted pillar of the Rochester Jewish community, offering dignified and affordable funeral and cremation services with a deep respect for Jewish traditions. Located at 3325 Winton Road South, the chapel was founded as a modern, convenient, and compassionate alternative for Jewish families, providing a welcoming environment where heritage and personalized care come together. In a significant expansion of its legacy, Brighton Memorial Chapel acquired Parsky Funeral Home, a well-known local institution, further strengthening its ability to serve the community with continuity and expertise.

The chapel also features an onsite chapel for services and is conveniently located just 1.5 miles from the Jewish Home of Rochester and minutes from major highways, temples, hospitals, cemeteries, and the airport.
