Jewish Green Burial Mortality Minute

Hi, I’m Gail Rubin, The Doyenne of Death, with today’s Mortality Minute.

Did you know Jewish burial is naturally green burial?

Before the funeral, the body is refrigerated instead of embalmed, avoiding chemicals that pollute the ground. The deceased is gently washed and dressed in white cotton or linen garments, which biodegrade naturally. Kosher caskets are made of soft pine or poplar wood, with no metal parts – totally biodegradable.

The casket is put in contact with the ground, even in conventional cemeteries. The body, the clothing and the casket all biodegrade into the earth at the same rate.

Members of the Tribe have been doing it this way for thousands of years. You’ll find variations of this burial rite used today in Houston Jewish cemeteries.

Remember, talking about sex won’t make you pregnant; talking about funerals won’t make you dead. Start a conversation and have the Talk of a Lifetime with someone you know today.
