Speak personally to the Rabbi about the funeral service, Jewish burials are usually held within 24-48 hours of death.
Notify family and friends of the funeral arrangements.
The burial fund staff will be pleased to offer help and advice on the funeral the procedures and arrangements.

The cost of a funeral fees are detailed in the price plans. For non members all funeral costs have to be paid prior to the funeral by Credit Card, bank transfer, cheque or cash.
