  2. Funerals and Shiva

We at Congregation Beth Shalom want you to know that we are available to answer your questions regarding the death of a loved one and to guide you through the process of funeral preparations and sitting shiva.

The death of a loved one often leads to disorientation and confusion about how to proceed. The guide below has been prepared to help CBS members deal with this process.
