Finding funeral and burial services in Boca Raton by demographic

According to the latest data from the US Census Bureau and the annual American Community Survey, the majority of Boca Raton residents (63.4%) don’t follow any religion. That aside, the largest religious community is Catholic (15.9%) closely followed by Protestant (15.6%).

The Jewish community makes up the next largest (2.9%), followed by Muslim (0.9%), Hindu, Mormon, and Orthodox (all at 0.4%), and Buddhist (0.1%). A further 0.2% identify as following another or non-Christian religion.

These numbers tend to mean that the majority of funeral and burial services cater for either non-religious ceremonies and/or Catholic or Protestant. For those of other religions, such as Judaism, you might prefer to use a specialized service staffed by those who follow and understand the same religion as you/your loved one.

Discovering more about Jewish funeral and burial services in Boca Raton

Although the Jewish community only accounts for 2.9% of the Boca Raton population, this still accounts for a large number of people. With 16 synagogues, of which Boca Raton Synagogue is the largest modern Orthodox one in the whole of Palm Beach County and Broward County, there’s a strong Jewish element to the city.

One of the most common methods of getting funeral and burial service information is through your synagogue. While it’s completely acceptable to approach a provider directly, many people prefer to consult their Rabbi, rather than pick a company out randomly. After all, it’s hopeful that employing the services of a funeral director isn’t something that’s an everyday occurrence for most of us. Taking guidance from your Rabbi who has more experience in such matters is often a good way forward.

However, there might be a time when such advice isn’t the most appropriate. For instance, if you or a loved one expresses a desire for cremation over burial. Despite this becoming more commonplace, there can still be barriers to getting information. This is especially relevant in certain branches of Judaism. The practice isn’t yet widely accepted within the Orthodox and Conservative branches, for example. In such instances, finding out more about the subject can be complex. This often means seeking advice from a source that’s not quite so close, such as an experienced provider of Jewish cremations.
