Cemetery

In the case of a death in the family,

• Please first contact the Seattle Jewish Chapel at (206) 725-3067 (this is a 24-hour line). They will help with arrangements for your loved one. If the death has occurred on a weekend, please call rather than email, as their email inbox is not monitored on weekends. 
• The next step is to immediately contact Rabbi Borodin or Rabbi Rose. Our rabbis will help you in the process that follows. Please call the CBS office, (206) 524-0075 for instructions on how to reach our rabbis in an emergency.

A guide for mourners can be found here (PDF File). Paper copies are available by request.
