Eliza Feller is the Director of Advance Planning and a funeral director at Sol Levinson's Funeral Home. Having been a funeral director for nearly 15 years, she has a wealth of experience working with families immediately following a loss, as well as those looking to preplan while still healthy. As the head of the advance planning program, Eliza's role is to educate the community and relieve the decision-making process for surviving family. She is always looking for that extra something that will make a family's funeral experience more meaningful, and their pre-planning experience more informative.
Eliza grew up in Reisterstown and, like many others, took a circuitous path to arrive at the funeral care industry. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance from Boston University and a Master’s in Music Performance from Rice University. After teaching trombone for a few years and a brief stint with an orchestra in Milay, she spent several years in fundraising, development, and event programming for Jewish non-profits in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. before finding her home at Levinson’s.
Eliza and her family are members of Chizuk Amuno Congregation. Eliza has served on the board of other synagogues, started a successful area program for Jewish young professionals, is a lifetime member of Hadassah, and a 3rd generation member of Covenant Guild. She and her husband, Michael Temchine, now live in Mt. Washington with their son and their dog. In her free time Eliza enjoys reading, hiking, camping, listening to music, and more reading.
