Question of the Month:

Can a Gentile be buried in a Jewish cemetary?

Answer:

Good questions! A person who converts to Judaism follows all the same mourning practices for their non-Jewish parents as one born Jewish. You sit shiva and you say kaddish. At times one may have to make modifications because of the other non-Jewish relatives, but as much as possible one mourns as a Jew. Non-Jews are not allowed to be buried in a Jewish cemetery; however, there are now some mixed religion cemeteries where interfaith couples can be buried together.
