Q : My parents have been married for 47 years.
My father was not born Jewish, but my mother
was. We were raised Jewish. My mother's parents
are buried at Clover Hill. We have been told my
father cannot be buried there without conversion.
Is there another alternative where my parents can
be together at a Jewish cemetery?
