The Community Hevra Kadisha of Greater Boston (CHK) is an independent, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing accessible and inclusive burial rituals for the Jewish community. With a commitment to respecting the deceased and comforting the bereaved, CHK follows ancient Jewish customs and traditions, offering services such as tahara, a ritual washing and dressing of the deceased, performed by trained volunteers who approach their work with utmost respect and tenderness.
Recognizing the importance of gender diversity, CHK has adopted guidelines to support the involvement of transgender and non-binary Jews, ensuring the care of their bodies aligns with their identities. As a tax-exempt public charity, CHK welcomes donations and offers community education programs, furthering their sacred work in serving the Jewish community in the Greater Boston area.
