[Avodah] levayah minhagim

[Michael Poppers]

In Avodah Digest V25#138 (yes, I'm way behind, but I'm plugging away :-)),
RSBA replied to "der Baseler" RAF:
>> Men and women remain
separate at funerals, with women staying further away from the grave while
the men fill it. Then, once the men retreat, after the shurah, which is
only
for men by men, women are free to come to the grave. <<
> That is exactly as we do it here. Obviously this was the Minhag in many
parts of Europe. <
What RAF describes was done at the l'vayah & graveside for Avi Mori a'h' by
the Chevra Kadisha of K'hal Adath Jeshurun ("Breuer's").

In terms of q'riyah, a lady from the KAJ Chevra will help an onenes and a
man from the Chevra will help an onein.

All the best from
