If a loved one is buried in Mount Richmond Cemetery or in Silver Lake Cemetery, please contact the HFBA office and we will try to assist you. 

Please include as much information as you have regarding the deceased.  Correct spellings of names, and dates of birth, death and/or burial are examples of information that can assist us.

The more information that you provide, the easier it will be to assist you. 

Kaddish

Among the many traditions associated with Yahrzeit (anniversary of a loved one's death) , perhaps none is as significant as the recitation of the mourner's kaddish.  The recitation of kaddish in a minyan (quorum of ten men) elevates the glory of G-d in this world, and by saying kaddish on the yahrzeit of a loved one, one ensures that the deceased receives the merit of that glorification of G-d’s name.

The Hebrew Free Burial Association offers two different Kaddish services:

If you would like to request either of these services, please contact our office or download the application above and mail it, along with your payment, to the HFBA office.
