Rabosai, I am glad to see that RDF is posting again (that's you, RDF from
Chicago, IIRC?). I fondly recall my early Areivim days (sadly, I no longer
read Areivim), when RDF was very active.
RDF: I am sure you meant "C instead of *J* cemetaries", for the level of
observance the cemetary keepers have and their affiliation is irrelevant to
the tuma exuded by the graves. C would of course stand for Christian, not
Conservative. However, I believe that, while NJ are not metame beohel, they
are metame immediately above them, so the rabbis would likely rule to avoid
any cemetary.
