Q: Can pregnant women go to the cemetery?
A•
It is an accepted practice that they don't attend the gravesite
funeral service or visit the cemetery. Nonetheless, when there is a
strong desire to do so (i. e. the funeral of a close family member)
or on a Yartzeit, they are permitted to go.
Hebrew Memorial Chapel serves the entire Jewish community by
bringing together our rich traditions with customized, sensitive services.
