Taharah is a ritual act of caring for the deceased in a respectful way. Jewish volunteers recite prayers, bathe and dress the deceased in simple, all-white, cotton garments, and place him or her in a simple, all-wood casket with earth from Israel. The Taharah takes place at a funeral home and is one of the most significant gestures of respect for our deceased. 

Chevra Kadisha translates to "Holy Society."  Chevra Kadisha is a group of approximately 3-5 men or woman who come together at a funeral home to perform a Taharah.  The members of Chevra Kadisha remain anonymous so as not to receive any gratitude from the family.  The work of the Chevra Kadisha is referred to as "chesed shel emet" - the truest act of kindness.
