Funerals are as old as human culture itself. Evidence of intentional human burials can be traced back 1000,000 years ago. Then and now, traditional funerals serve the purpose of comforting the remaining family by allowing a space where family and friends can grieve the deceased. Funerals are the first step in the grieving process because they offer a space for family and friends to connect and share their loss. Loved ones can share memories of the deceased and find closure in the shared space that a funeral service provides. A traditional Jewish funeral service has remained unchanged for the last four thousand years.

Traditionally, a Jewish funeral is held within 24 hours after death, although there are many exceptions to this tradition. Before a burial can occur the body must be washed in a ritual known as the tahara, prayers are recited as this ritualistic washing occurs. In accordance with Jewish laws, male funeral attendants must was males and female funeral attendants wash females. During the funeral, family members typically tear their own clothes as a show of grief, this is called the kriah. The kavod is the following of the deceased to their final resting place. During the kavod, the attendance at the funeral home or chapel will recite psalms and tell positive stories of the deceased. The burial or kevurah takes place in Jewish cemetery with the recitation of Kaddish and other prayers. After the burial, those in attendance at the gravesite will create a pathway for the family and mourners to walk through and leave. This is called the nechama.
