The Jewish Funeral Directors of America

The Jewish Funeral Guide

Jewish law and tradition have endowed the funeral with profound religious significance. A Jewish funeral should in every respect express the dignity, sanctity and modesty of a solemn religious service. This Guide lists and explains the 6 basic requirements of a Jewish funeral. You will become familiar with Taharah, Shmeerah, Tachrchim, Oron, K'reeah and K'vurah.

The Jewish Funeral Guide is appropriate for any individual wishing to understand what elements comprise a Jewish Funeral.
