After more than 120 years, we are proud to have amongst our membership many seventh-generation families whose roots emanate from the original members.

Some have moved throughout the United States and foreign countries.

All the members, wherever they reside, are determined to be buried in the New York Metropolitan area.

Current enrollment now surpasses 9,000 families, and we continue to grow, although many pass on each year.

Ironically, more than 4,000 of the original small societies with selective memberships have disbanded or dissolved.

Members have, in the past century, dispersed from the Lower East Side to build new communities throughout New York City and the adjoining suburbs.

Our computer systems, our obsession with accuracy and detail, and a skilled 24-hour professional staff has made it possible for the organization to respond to every member’s personal needs when deaths occur.

All of our records and books in the office are now computerized and burial information is instantly available 24 hours a day for the benefit of the membership.

This website was recently updated to meet the challenges of the ever-changing world.

Our Board of Directors still consists of professionals dedicated to the ideals, integrity, and future of the organization. Many are well known for their philanthropic and social service activities within our community.

Our Directors and Office Staff have tirelessly dedicated themselves to our 24 hour a day membership services.
