BURIAL

The Burial Committee has recently carried out a review of the burial and funeral services offered by the PJCEA. We enclose details of the scheme, whom to contact in the event of a death, details for members previously belonging to another Liberal Judaism synagogue, likely costs and some thoughts on how burial and funeral costs might be met.

Actions You Will Need to Take In The Event of a Death

This gives some practical advice to the family of the deceased.

Frequently Asked Questions

This takes you to frequently asked questions on burial and funeral serivces available to PJCEA members. It gives some idea of costs, whom to contact in the event of a death, details for members previously belonging to another Liberal Judaism constituent synagogue and some thoughts on how burial and funeral costs might be met.

Preferences Form

There is a preferences form which gives members an opportunity to state their wishes regarding their own funeral arrangements. Its purpose is to ensure that in the event of your death we are able to provide the services you wish even if your next of kin are unaware of your wishes. Completion of the form in whole or in part is entirely optional. Whilst the PJCEA, its Council and its members cannot be bound by requests made, nevertheless the information will be taken to represent your wishes and will be followed as far as possible. The information is handled in the strictest confidence. Sealed copies of the form are kept by members of the Burial Committee and will be opened only in the event of your death.

If in the future your circumstances change you should let me know. It would be sensible if you were to supply your next of kin with a copy of the completed form.

***

Please note that this help is available free of charge only to Full Members of the congregation. Associate Members, Friends and others are not covered. In such cases assistance can be provided. However, an appropriate charge will be levied.

If you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, if you do return the form then please let me know of any subsequent changes.
