Free Support for Child Loss

The loss of a baby or child is so profound that it’s often unseen and unacknowledged in communal spaces. Sinai Memorial recognizes how such a tender loss ripples and impacts parents, guardians, families, chosen families, friends, and the entire Jewish community. As the Bay Area’s Jewish nonprofit funeral home, we have a responsibility to provide these families with an abundance of compassion, care, and patience.

We offer funeral and memorial services at no cost:

  • Planning and facilitating a funeral or memorial service
  • Selecting service options and locations (community space, synagogue, chapel, graveside)
  • Managing the timing, transportation, and all required legal arrangements
  • Coordinating and scheduling with all relevant entities
  • Connecting you to a range of officiants

Compassionate Care in Your Tender Time of Loss

Where to Start

Resuming Daily Life After Loss

Grief can feel like pressing pause on life. After loss, even simple routines—walking the dog, making dinner—can seem impossible. Jewish tradition acknowledges this tender time by naming its stages, helping us pay attention to each moment, and continue living alongside our sorrow.
