nesses in loneliness, not only
without the comfort of family
members to look in on them —
for lack of any family — but with
no contact whatsoever by any of
our Jewish clergy.
Marilyn Cohn was fortunate
in that she was under the care of
the Hospice of Southeastern
Michigan, and therefore came to
know Rabbi E.B. Freedman, who
in turn was there for her, to offer
her religious comfort as well.
What should be emphasized
even more strongly, I believe, is
the vast numbers of elderly in-
dividuals who are brought to
their final resting place without
the total religious send-off of hav-
ing the Kaddish recited at their
burials. This aspect of Marilyn
Cohn's burial service is the real
tragedy of her story.
The solution to this area of hu-
man tragedy is merely a phone
call away. There is an organized
group of volunteers in our corn-
munity, whose names are listed
with the Chesed Shel Emes, for
the purpose of at least attempt-
ing to put together a minyan at
any cemetery when circum-
stances are such that family and
friends would not compromise
a minyan of their own. This past
Sunday, I participated in one
such minyan which was
arranged for a Russian lady
whose burial was held at Hebrew
Memorial Park. There was a mis-
communication and the 10th
man failed to show. In frustra-
tion, we proceeded with the in-
terment, and then as the grave
was being filled in, a couple ar-
rived a few rows away to visit
their own relative's grave. We en-
listed the participation of this
stranger (an angel from heaven,
perhaps?) to allow us to recite the
Kaddish.
On other occasions, when vol-
unteers have not been secured to
drive out to the cemetery — es-
pecially if it is one of the farther
ones, we have succeeded in at
least having the minyan present
at the chapel, prior to the hearse's
departure, so that the Kaddish
is recited that one time to honor
the soul of the deceased.
May those who give of them-
selves to assure strangers a prop-
er traditional burial, with all
appropriate prayers intact, be
spared the emotional pain of ever
having a loved one's funeral
short-changed along those lines.
