On April 5, 2024, A 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Hit The Northeast (at the 22:50 mark of the podcast)!

The shaking, in an area not normally considered earthquake-prone, serves as a reminder of just how vulnerable we are as humans to the unexpected.

Because of this fact, and the normal occurrence of death due to age or sickness, it's important to understand the process of funerals.

And who better to speak with than Adam Novak, Director of Jerusalem Memorial Chapels on Long Island, about Jewish funeral services. 

Some of the topics we discussed...

• With most kids wanting to be professional athletes, police officers, or firefighters, how Adam Novak became the owner of a funeral home,
• How the funeral home business has changed over the years,
• The path that the deceased takes from the place of death to arriving in the chapel,
• How the physical look of a funeral home can impact the overall feeling that a family and the mourners have,
• Dealing with a family and the empathy and compassion that is needed,
• Technological advances,
• The cost and pricing of a funeral,
• Pre-paid funerals and how they work,
• How one funeral home differentiates itself from the 'competition',
• Community involvement,
• Environmental factors,
• And much more!
