Dedication Ceremonies

The dedication ceremony, often called an “unveiling” or Hakamat Matzeivah (raising the stone) is held after a funeral.

This is a special time for family and friends to remember their loved one. This ceremony may be held any time after 30 days of burial and usually before a year has passed.
