Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
CREMATION
Digests of resolutions adopted by the
Central Conference of American Rabbis
between 1889 and 1974
1. Resolved, That in case we should be invited to officiate as Ministers of
Religion
at the cremation of a departed co-religionist, we ought not to refuse on the
plea
that cremation is anti-Jewish or irreligious. (1893, p. 41)
