Feldman Mortuary
Jamie Sarche,
Director of Pre-Planning
Feldman Mortuary has been serving families in Denver since 1936 and is the oldest family-owned funeral home in Colorado.
For several generations, we cared mostly for the Jewish community which typically chooses burial with no embalming and an all-wood casket, making Feldman Mortuary the specialist in green burial. We also provide alkaline hydrolysis (aquamation) and natural organic reduction (body composting).
Though most funeral homes keep the bodies they are caring for in a refrigerator, Feldman’s uses refrigeration packs and treats bodies with the humanity they deserve. Each person is covered with a sheet for dignity and laid out on cot. Candles are lit on each end of the cot.
We are educators, not order-takers. Everyone at Feldman’s helps families to figure out what is important at the time of a death and to meet those needs.


Jamie Sarche, director of pre-planning, helps people be less afraid of death. By arranging for them to provide their loved ones with a planned and funded funeral or memorial service, she and her clients create a path for bereavement, long before it's needed. And by facing their mortality, her clients can live better, more meaningful lives.
