I was aware of two things. Firstly, how natural and beautiful a lawn setting can be for a cemetery and secondly, the depth of the grave seemed extremely deep. First of all, may I thank you for your positive comments regarding our cemetery. This decision allows, if the family wishes, for two interments to take place in the same grave site. Overseas, where land availability is restricted, it is not unusual to have more than one interment in a single grave site.
Jewish law is quite specific regarding multiple interments in the one grave site.
Providing that the coffins are separated by a distance of 'Three Clenched Hand Fists' it is permissible for multiple interments to take place. Top Some years ago I purchased a grave site at the Jewish Memorial Garden Cemetery, and at the same time I took the opportunity to prepay all the appropriate costs for my funeral. All my negotiations were done with another funeral organisation, as it was prior to the inception of Bet-Olam Jewish Funerals. If anything happens to me I would like Bet-Olam to carry out the funeral arrangements. This is a question asked by many members.
