Unveiling of a headstone in memory of the deceased generally take place a year or more after death. If a death occurs in the winter it takes time for the gravesite to settle and for grass to be planted, so waiting well into the next year would be advised. A rabbi may officiate at an Unveiling, but the ceremony is relatively simple, and a member of the family could easily conduct the service.
> To book an unveiling, contact our Life Cycle Director, Estelle Raber at 975 3484 or email at eraber@shaareyzedek.mb.ca.
If you prefer that a family member conduct the service, we will be pleased to provide you with our booklet, “The Service of Unveiling”, which contains complete instructions on conducting an Unveiling ceremony or view a printer friendly version on our site.
