Levaya – Burial

The shul is here to help you in the event of a bereavement.

• Phone the Shul office or the Burial Office once you have the relevant documentation and you will be advised on the next step.
• The Shul office works closely with the Burial Office in Bushey and you will be kept informed of all arrangements.
