Jewish Funeral & Burial Services

The Jewish traditions related to death and mourning are intended to recognize death as a part of life. Burial takes place as soon after death as possible. Traditional caskets are of plain wood. Embalming, viewing and cremation are not permitted and flowers are discouraged.

Your Rabbi should be consulted for specific questions about burial and mourning practices such as the observance of shiva, recitation of the Kaddish, observing yahrzeit, and attending yizkor services.
