RETURNING TO
THE EARTH
In the Jewish tradition, mourners may participate in the actual burial by placing shovelfuls of dirt on the casket. In doing so, the mourners are seen to be performing the unselfish and loving act of ensuring that the deceased will receive a proper Jewish burial. As might be expected, throwing dirt on the grave, as it were, is more than a symbolic act. While it may be fraught with emotion and pain, this gesture goes a long way in bring psychological benefit to surviving friends and family. Participating and witnessing the burial commits mourners to undergo one final loving act for their beloved departed and helps to mitigate any illusion about the finality of death.
