Chevra Kadisha
The Chevra Kadisha of the Vaad Harabonim of Pittsburgh maintains the highest level of respect and dignity (kavod hames) caring for all Jewish people at the time of a death.
We are available to assist families with sensitivity and expertise with any questions regarding an imminent or recent death.
We do not accept any calls or voice-mail messages on Shabbos.
For other Chevra Kadisha services such as Tahara – the traditional Jewish preparation of the body for burial, and Shmira – watching of the deceased until burial, please contact any of the funeral homes we service and request them to arrange for these services.
We can provide for Kaddish to be said for the year.
We can also arrange for Kaddish and Mishnayos on each Yahrzeit as well as for yearly reminders to be mailed out.
Please contact Mrs. Naomi Balaban 412-654-7968
