THE UNVEILING An “unveiling" is a Jewish ceremony in which a grave monument is dedicated to someone who died twelve months earlier. The ceremony is so named because the tombstone is covered with a cloth. The unveiling and dedication of a memorial stone can occur at three separate times, as early as the end of shiva (the week-long period of mourning), at the end of the first thirty days, or as much as a year after death. The idea underlying this custom is that the dead will not be forgotten when they are being mourned every day. The ritual became popular toward the end of the 19th century in America and Western Europe, and had become an accepted and meaningful practice. Each culture has its own way of mourning, its own way of handling death and creating meaningful rituals.

"Why dost thou weep? All my life has been given to me merely that
I might learn to die."
