Jewish Funerals
Planning a Jewish Funeral
Jewish
funerals are steeped in tradition, with many customs and rituals passed down
from generation to generation. They are a time to remind the community of the
importance of honoring and respecting each life. The rich traditions of the
Jewish people remain the same no matter where one lives and help unite Jewish
communities around the world as one.

Jewish Mourning & Shiva
Similar
to funerals, Jewish mourning has customs of its own. Each of the customs is
deliberate.
Jewish mourning is broken into stages, the first of
which is shiva. While a family never gets over the loss of a loved one, the
intense Jewish mourning period is the 7 days of shiva. For the children of the
deceased, mourning lasts for one year.

Commemoration & Memorialization
In the
Jewish faith, while lost ones are always with us, they are formally remembered
5 times a year. They are honored at Yahrzeit (the anniversary of their passing
in accordance with the Hebrew calendar) and during Yizkor, a prayer service
that occurs 4 times annually (Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, the 8th
day of Passover, and the 2nd day of Shavuot).

There
are several traditions to honor loved ones on these occasions, including
lighting a candle and planting a tree.
