The Beauty In Simplicity

There are many things in life that are beautiful. And many of them are the simple things. For instance, a bird might sing in your year every day. But it’s song might — on one particular day — might sound more beautiful than on the other days. The simple act of noticing can make things beautiful. When a loved one passes away and you enlist the help of a Jewish funeral home in East Brunswick, NJ for their final services, you know the services will be plain and simple. There’s definitely beauty in that and plenty of honor as well.

If your loved one was part of the Jewish faith, it’s important to them to have the right rituals around their burial and death. If you aren’t familiar with these rituals yourself, hiring a Jewish funeral home is your best answer. The funeral home can take care of everything that needs to be done so it all lines up just right.

One of the simple things is what your loved one will be buried in. You could dress them in some of their finest clothing. But in the Jewish faith, simplicity is best. A plain, white garment will wrap them and accompany them in burial instead. This shroud reminds everyone present that we are all the same in death. There are certainly plenty of caskets from which to choose today, but in a Jewish burial, the casket will be very plain and simple to convey the same message.

Many funerals today include a room filled with flowers, but that will not be the case in a Jewish funeral. Flowers are not the gift of choice here, and that keeps the room much plainer and simpler overall. You can mourn your loved one and honor their death instead of focusing on decorations that, in the end, don’t really matter. Instead, you can ask family members and friends to offer donations to a certain charity in your loved one’s name.

Death is hard to deal with, but you can see it as a beautiful thing when you notice the simplicity surrounding it. It’s a part of life and no one can get around it.
