Q : I was on the Miracle Mission 4 Trip and
OBITS from page 97
noticed there were no funeral homes in Israel.
I was surprised when our guide told us funerals
there were free. How is that possible?
A: In Israel, funeral's are handled by municipal
Chevra Kadishas, which are contracted by the
government. When you live in Israel, you are
taxed on your income and the funds are placed in
the treasury. At the time of death, burial expenses
are taken care of If you consider the average life
span of Israelis and the amount of taxes they
have paid, the burial is anything but free!
