dignified Jewish burial.

Documenting and Sharing Burial Wishes

Even when someone has chosen kevurah, if there is nothing in writing, they are still at risk of being cremated.
It is important for them to share their wishes, in writing, with family members.

Here are two options — an informal note and a legally-binding document.


These Burial Wishes forms are also available on lastkindness.org
