About David Rosenblum
Expertise
I am an ex-student of yeshiva and I like to be
presented with Torah study problems. If you have
studied the Torah and have questions on the subject
matter, I want to hear about it. I am not a Rabbi and
not qualified to decide halachic issues. I am still
interested in halachic questions for which I can
sometimes offer general guidelines or present
decisions in halachic works such as Mishna Berurah. I
welcome questions from non-Jewish people but I cannot
respond to religious references that are not part of
Judaism. If you are working on a paper or doing
research and want general information on a Jewish
subject, I may or may not satisfy your need, depending
on how comfortable I am with the question. If you
have a personal problem, I am not qualified to help
you but I will do what I can to offer you some
assistance.

Expert: David Rosenblum - 10/25/2009
Question
My husband died and the funeral was held. A few days later I found out that right after the ceremony another ceremony was held.
Is this allowed in orthodox Jewish law? At the first ceremony we had shoveled dirt on top of the casket, which was placed in the ground. Would it be kosher for another ceremony to be held after this?
Answer
Hello,
First let me express my heartfelt condolences for your loss.
I need some clarification.
1) At the first ceremony, was the hole filled with earth?
2) What exactly did the second ceremony consist of?
May Hashem console you amongst the other mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim; may they know of no more sorrow.
