In accordance with our traditions, the deceased must be respectfully brought to eternal rest as soon as possible and in the most dignified manner.

Contacting eh Chevra Kadisha.
This should be done as soon as possible whatever the time of day or night. If the deceased is a male his Tallis should be given to the Chevra Kadisha who will also need to know if he was a Kohen, Levi or Yisrael. For males or females, the Hebrew name and the name of the deceased’s father is required. The Chevra Kadisha will need a copy of the deceased’s ID document together with the doctor’s signed death certificate.

Arranging the time of the Funeral.
This is done with the Chevra Kadisha. They will give you a proposed time which can only be confirmed once the Rabbi has been consulted. Once this has been confirmed you can let relatives and friends know. We will send an email to the congregation informing them of the date & time of the funeral & prayers.
