My grandparents (through my step-mom) were Jewish and their funerals were the most memorable and heartfelt I’ve ever been to. Your words summed up the beauty of it!
Thanks Rich. This is profoundly beautiful. For ,y Dad, we met with family and my best friend from childhood and wandered through a community garden that allowed people to sprinkle ashes there. IT was so nice and gave me time to quietly reflect and also share thoughts with others as we slowly roamed about. Much more my style than a formal funeral.

Thanks Jill. Agreed. They do a few very simple things that make the entire ceremony very personal, whether you knew person or not.
When the time comes, Rich, your actions will be written into the book and your name remembered.
Hmmm. That's a lovely, comforting thought Paul! Thank you!
How incredibly touching to have witnesssed and experienced this tradition.
What a beautiful resting place...Mt. Tam is a personal favorite.
Some funerals are actually beautiful. Sounds like this one was. If you need a +1 at another one call me.
