For six generations now — through civil wars and world wars, recessions and depressions — the Nieberg family has been here to help and comfort other families during their times of
loss.
As
the
first
Jewish
funeral
home
in
New
York
City,
and
likely
one
of
the
first
in
the
United
States,
the
history
of
our
family
business
parallels
the
history
of
this
nation
and
its
people.
Over
150
years
ago,
Benjamin
Rosenthal,
our
great-grandfather
and
an
immigrant
from
Eastern
Europe,
operated
a
horse-drawn,
ice
transport
business
on
the
Lower
East
Side
of
Manhattan.
Because
ice
was
then
the
only
way
to
preserve
the
body
of
a
deceased
and
horse-drawn
wagons
the
only
means
to
transport
them,
Benjamin’s
ice
business
was
ideally
suited
for
the
funeral
business.
So
on
many
occasions
families
hired
Benjamin
to
transport
a
deceased
to
local
cemeteries.
As
the
losses
from
the
United
States’
Civil
War
mounted
and
families
throughout
New
York
sought
to
honor
their
beloved
family
members
with
funerals,
Benjamin
eventually
converted
his
trade
fulltime
to
the
funeral
business.
From
the
very
start,
and
like
most
businesses
at
that
time,
Benjamin’s
funeral
business
was
a
family
operation.
Isaac,
one
of
Benjamin’s
seven
children,
worked
very
closely
with
his
father
and
gradually
took
on
full
responsibility
for
the
business.
With
Benjamin’s
passing
in
1880,
Isaac
had
already
established
a
well-deserved
reputation
in
the
community
for
his
personal
and
professional
qualities.
Because
funeral
homes
then
did
not
exist
as
they
do
now,
funeral
services
and
the
preparation
of
the
deceased
primarily
occurred
within
a
family’s
home.
Of
course
this
meant
that
Isaac
spent
many
of
his
days
working
very
closely
with
the
families
that
hired
him.
Like
his
father
before
him,
Isaac
was
very
committed
to
family
and
encouraged
his
children,
all
daughters,
to
work
in
the
family
business.
Of
his
daughters,
Lillian
was
the
most
involved.
When
Lillian
became
engaged,
her
fiancé,
Harry
Nieberg,
quickly
became
an
integral
part
of
the
business
as
well.
After
Lillian
and
Harry
were
married,
Isaac,
who
became
ill,
left
full
responsibility
of
his
business
to
Harry.
Harry
quickly
brought
the
business
into
the
20th
century
by
pioneering
the
use
of
motorized
hearses.
As
it
did
in
most
areas
of
life,
the
motor
vehicle
quickly
replaced
horses
and
at
one
point
Harry
owned
one
of
the
largest
fleets
of
motorized
hearses
in
the
country.
Our
fleet
of
vehicles
was
not
only
used
in
our
business
but
was
depended
upon
by
funeral
homes
throughout
New
York.
Though
Harry
enlarged
and
developed
his
operations
in
Manhattan,
Harry
eventually
expanded
his
business
east
to
Brooklyn.Almost
70
years
ago,
Harry
opened
Nieberg’s
Midwood
Funeral
Home
in
the
Midwood
section
of
Brooklyn.
This
building
remains
today
and
has
become
our
family’s
single
location.
And
unlike
many
other
funeral
businesses
in
the
area,
ours
has
remained
an
independent
family-owned
business
from
the
very
beginning.Today,
Harry’s
grandsons,
Stanley
and
Peter,
continue
the
traditions
started
many
years
ago
by
their
great-great
grandfather.
The
Nieberg
family
remains
committed
to
serving
all
members
of
our
community
whether
new
immigrants
as
our
ancestors
once
were
or
those
who,
like
us,
have
lived
in
New
York
for
generations.
Even
in
these
uncertain
times,
just
as
our
founders
showed
their
faith
in
the
continued
development
of
this
city
by
continuously
expanding
and
innovating,
we
want
to
continue
this
tradition.
As
New
York
has
changed,
so
have
we.
In
the
coming
months,
we
will
be
completely
renovating
the
Midwood
Chapel
to
reflect
our
commitment
to
this
community.
We
and
our
staff
speak
English,
Hebrew,
and
Russian
and
hope
that
we
can
be
of
service
to
you
and
your
family
in
your
time
of
need.
