Mission Statement
Hebrew Free Burial Association devotes its resources to performing chesed shel emet (the ultimate act of lovingkindness). It is the only agency in the NY metropolitan area dedicated to assuring that every Jew, regardless of financial means or religious affiliation, receives a dignified, traditional Jewish funeral and burial.
About This Cause
Hebrew Free Burial Association was formed in 1888 on Manhattan's Lower East Side by a group of philanthropic and community minded Jews who were committed to burying their indigent dead according to Jewish tradition, rather than having them buried in a mass grave in City Cemetery. Since its inception, HFBA has interred over 65,000 people in their 2 Staten Island cemeteries. HFBA is also committed to maintaining these cemeteries with dignity and providing grave markers for unmarked graves in their cemeteries.
