BOCA JEWISH FUNERALS

Boca Jewish Funerals was established to provide the Jewish community an alternative to the growing number of funeral homes owned by corporate giants. Our philosophy is to treat your family as our own, something owner/funeral director Garrett Jacobs is known for. Boca Jewish Funerals treats you with dignity and respect at an affordable price. In fact, our prices are consistently between 40 and 50% lower than any other South Florida Jewish funeral business. We’re committed to conducting our business within the tradition of the Jewish faith, while affording you the sensitivity and professionalism your loss demands.

Garrett JacobsGarrett Jacobs
Garrett Jacobs has served the Jewish community for over a decade, both through his involvements with funeral homes and beyond. His commitment to the Jewish community continues to expand, with his increasing partnerships with local businesses and service groups. Boca Jewish Funerals' vision is quickly being realized as a valuable resource to Jewish families in need of burial services and beyond, offering outreach programs and resources to the bereaved.

Beginning his career in 1990, Garrett worked weekends at Babione Funeral Home while attending Mortuary School. After graduation, Garrett served as an intern at Pelczar Funeral Home in New Hampshire, where he received his New Hampshire License. He continued on with Pelczar as an Embalmer and Funeral Director from 1992-1995. In 1995 Garrett and his wife, eager to start a family returned to Florida, where he received his Florida license and became a Funeral Director at Beth Israel Memorial Chapel in Delray Beach (1995-2003). Garrett was one of five Funeral Directors at Beth Israel, performing over 1100 funerals a year.

In October of 2003, Garrett finally realized his dream with the opening of Boca Jewish Funerals, a storefront funeral home establishment offering alternative services to families including graveside services at the cemetery, synagogue services or cremation. Passing the savings of high overhead  on to local Jewish families Garrett gives back to the community. To speak with Garrett please call 561.852.4332.
