JEWISH MOURNING

LET SHALOM MEMORIAL CHAPELS ASSIST IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

There are two important principles in the Jewish faith regarding death and mourning. The first, Kavod Ha-met, requires that the body be treated with respect from the time of passing. The second is the idea that death is a natural process—a part of life. We do our best to comfort those in grief and to support the religious aspects of the funeral ritual.
