A Burial

We buried Granny Leila today. In the pouring rain. Whitegoato (or blackdanao depending on whether we are going by blog names or real names) gave an excellent eulogy. It was a fitting ceremony, respectful and kind, just as Granny Leila would have ordered. The fact that so many people braved the flooding rain, shows the depth of feeling people have for her and her family.

The picture above is the vending machines at the entrance to the cemetery. For 6 NIS you can get a yotsite (memorial) candle, and matches. Quite a deal.
