Please tell us about your organization.

Services provided

We'd like to understand what kind of services our organizational members provide. The services listed here are often offered by a traditional Chevra Kadisha. However we know that not all chevras offer all these services, and some other organizations do offer some of these services. Please indicate those services that you do offer.

Kavod v'Nichum can provide your organization a unique web presence at the Jewish Funerals Burial and Mourning web site (www.Jewish-funerals.org). This benefit is for groups that don't have their own web site, but want to have an easy to find, content-rich web home that is both elegant and inexpensive. Your unique logo will appear on your landing page and all the subpages for which you provide content. You visitors will be able to easily link back to the hundreds of content pages on the main web site.

We welcome your comments and feedback.
