MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 04, 2014
Headquartered in Miami,
shiva.com
recently expanded its offering and now is the premier
website with guidance for those seeking to understand Jewish mourning or access
proper
services to express and send condolences. Mourners, family, friends, colleagues and others
can now learn about
–
and do
–
everything appropriate following the passing of a loved one.
Anyone visiting shiva.com has access its vast resources, including the site’s
Learning Center
–
where users can find a wealth of information during this most difficult time
–
Additionally the
Planning Center
provides tools for organizing or supporting a shiva. Most notably, family,
friends and co
-
workers now have a resource to
send
appropriate sympathy items, including
planting trees in Israel (through
shiva.com’s partner, Jewish National Fund [JNF]), traditional
fruit baskets, baked goods and more to those in mourning via shiva.com directly or its local
Approved Providers.
“This is obviously a difficult time for most people, whether you are a mourner,
family member
or even co
-
worker,” says Michael Schimmel, shiva.com’s CEO and founder. “We want to make
the process easier: learn, plan, and send. Everything can be done seamlessly on our site. The
growth shows a strong demand for these much needed services”
Schimmel goes on to say that although shiva.com was formed
–
following the loss of his
grandmother
–
with the Jewish faith in mind, there are an abundance of helpful resources
regardless of one’s belief system or religion, and that the site was designed to account for a
wide audience from all backgrounds and denominations. Expansion into the secular and other
religious faiths is contemplated in the future.
Shiva.com’s sister company, the National Jewish Memorial Wall (NJMW.org) provides the
ability to
remember and commemorate loved ones in such a way that memories can be passed
from one generation to another.
NJMW.org
allows family and friends to upload pictures, share
stories and remain connected.
