ONLINE CONVERSION
Jewish funeral practices: why do we not encourage cremation? embalming? open caskets or viewing? flowers? ostentatious caskets? delayed funerals?
What is the funeral like? How do we mourn? See www.rabbireflects.blogspot.com and my website www.jonathanginsburg.net for all the 100 videos listed

Thank you Rabbi, that was very educational.

I think every burial should be done this way.

Very informative video. I am not Jewish, but that's the type of funeral I want for myself: simple and respectful of the environment. I do not believe in the expensive "shows" put up by funeral homes.
This is a great series you've put together Rabbi. I'm a Funeral Director and your video of the Jewish Funeral custom is very well explained. I wish that some of my younger staff members could here this. Could you contact me? I'd be interested in a DVD or other type of media to show to my group without going through the internet ?
PS: A video on sitting shivah and the seven day candle would be informative and helpful.
