Interesting, I was unaware of the non-Jewish part of Washington Cemetery (the cemetery stretches from Flatbush/Midwood to Boro Park), as I don't really know the history of that cemetery (my gg-grandfather was buried there in 1922).

So, by definition of the article- designation, ceremonial (including 'blessings') and burial.

This is interesting.

[Note by the way the old logo on the upper right of the cover page]

Hmm...you pulled the Brooklyn Eagle article from the Kane Street website. [I wonder about their balconies and their place in the congregational history...]

[Not like ]

I find this an interesting question in light of 'who is a Jew', differing burial rituals and things that are antithetical to halacha.

I wonder how many people use or know about things like the OU Levaya program or other chevras that allow you to set up what you'd like before you face a tragedy, r"l.

OK, I'll bite. Tell us more about the OU Levaya Program and please provide a link for our convenience.

[Note, by the way, that it's only for NYers (which is fine because everybody lives in NY anyway) and that the actual plot/cemetery arrangements isn't included].

OU Levaya Program

interesting, the Les Marais former mashgiach writes this.
Examples of groups (not all Orthodox) like United Hebrew, Beit Am..

Some of the FAQs here are interesting.

Some people used to belong to orgs from the town, city, conutry, region, 'fraternity' that they were part of, e.g. like these or these... most of these are pretty much defunct.
