Weinstein Memorial Chapel

Weinstein Memorial Chapel, located at 1652 Central Park Avenue in Yonkers, New York, is a family-owned and operated funeral home that has served the Jewish community with compassion and dedication since 1931. Founded on the principle of treating every family as if they were our own, the chapel has built a legacy of sincerity, pride, and commitment to honoring the memory of loved ones.

The chapel offers a comprehensive range of funeral services tailored to Jewish customs and traditions. These include traditional full-service funerals, graveside services held at the place of interment, memorial services for those who have already been buried or cremated, direct cremation, immediate burial, and out-of-state arrangements for families who have relocated. Each service is conducted with meticulous attention to ritual observance, from transportation of remains and paperwork completion to coordination with rabbis and doctors. The funeral directors serve as caregivers, listeners, and advisors, ensuring that every detail is handled with sensitivity and professionalism.

Weinstein Memorial Chapel operates 24/7 and features extensive facilities, including chapels, viewing rooms, limousines, and hearses. The Yonkers location is wheelchair accessible with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. The chapel also provides pre-need planning resources through a partnership with the Cooperative Funeral Fund, allowing families to make arrangements in advance. For veterans, the chapel coordinates military honors, including a flag-folding ceremony and the playing of taps, at no additional cost.
