About Jewish Burial Society

Mission Statement  

Our mission is to provide information and services to the South Bay community on the end-of-life traditional Jewish burial ritual that ensures safeguarding the dignity of the deceased.

What we do  

The Jewish Burial Society provides end-of-life services to members of the Jewish Community. Dedicated to the proposition that every Jew deserves a Tahara and traditional burial, the members of the Sacred Society (Chevra Kadisha) are available to perform Taharas (ritual preparation of the body for burial), act as a Shomer (honor guard watching the remains), assist with the actual burial and provide support for the bereaved family.
