• http:iiirakaufman.corn, Obituaries We Get Questions 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.
