What's this?

Went to a Jewish funeral years ago that was very similar


The act of shoveling the dirt into the grave was a new one, and one I'm not sure I could do if it was me burying a loved one. When my grandfather (a Baptist) was buried at Arlington all that, and even lowering the casket into the grave, was left until after the family was gone.
