Jewish End of Life Ritual Services for Boulder County
Our loved ones who have passed need us to perform a ritual act they cannot do for themselves. The Boulder Chevra Kadisha is guided by Jewish guidelines and our commitment to providing end-of-life ritual services and educational resources to the Jewish community. Our dedicated volunteers receive education, training, and spiritual support.
Throughout the ages, Jewish communities have established holy societies—a chevra kadisha—to care for the deceased from the time of death until interment.
Our sacred work provides meaningful opportunities to our volunteers.
