Jewish Funeral Practices Committee of Greater Washington Contracts |
| The JFPCGW has contracts with
Hines-Rinaldi Funeral Home in Silver Spring MD
(301-622-2290) with
Jefferson Funeral Chapel in Alexandria VA (703-971-7400).
These funeral homes will provide the professional services for a
complete funeral for $1,712 (Hines-Rinaldi) and $2,995
(Jefferson), including the casket and, if desired, its funeral
chapels. (Many congregations use their own sanctuaries.)
Typically about 200 funerals are done under the
terms of our contracts each year.
Our contracts also have the effect of creating price competition and keeping the prices charged the Jewish community by other funeral homes in our area lower than they would otherwise be. The committee has biennial plenary meetings. Between those meetings, the committee’s work is done by a 15 member working board of directors. Volunteers need not be nominated by their congregation. For historical purposes, you can view previous JFPCGW contracts.
