Q : While you were at my friend's house
arranging a funeral for her father, she gave you
clothing for him to wear. When my parents died,
I was told a shroud was mandatory?
A:
I assume that your friend's father was buried
at Beth El Memorial Park, where clothing or
shrouds are acceptable. Every other Jewish
cemetery in this city makes a shroud mandatory.
This is a requirement not just here, but
throughout the Jewish world, symbolizing our
equality, giving no one special treatment.

Corrections
• The obituary for Lynda Beth
Hencken Meeuws (Jan. 27) should
have identified her late parents as Jack
and Estelle Hencken and her sister as
Judee Hencken of Southfield.
• The obituary for Rose Segal (Feb.
3) should have included great-niece,
Marla and Jeffrey Kaftan of
Birmingham.
• The obituary for Marvin Rosenberg
(Feb. 3) should have identified Mr.
Rosenberg as the beloved father of the
late Robert Rosenberg.
