The Women's Chevra Kadisha of Beit HaShofar serves the women members respectively of Beit HaShofar and their family. Below are some of the services we provide:

Services to Families After Death

• initial and follow-up contact with the family;
• funeral and burial arrangements;
• taharah, including shrouds and gowns;
• offer shomer (as available) to accompany the deceased between death and the burial;
• provide food after the funeral, if requested
• provide a shiva candle
• after the funeral, the name of the deceased is put on the Synagogue Yahrzeit and Yizkor lists

The cost of the undertaker, coffin, plot and headstone are additional to the services provided by your membership in the synagogue.
 
Though the Women's Chevra Kadisha does not charge for their services, donations are appreciated and welcome.
