Article buried the facts

I have just read the article on "Final Questions" in the April 6 Acorn and feel compelled to correct some misinformation.

Mr. Jubasak wrote, "Understand that you have time and need not rush into making final plans until out-of-town people can arrange their travel," and "Within reason, there is no timetable as to when the body must be buried or cremated."

Your answers do not recognize or acknowledge that some religions, specifically Judaism, have strict rules and traditions regarding burying the dead.

Jewish tradition mandates that burial take place as soon as possible, within a day or two.

Perhaps in future articles you can be more informed and inclusive. Sue Harris Oak Park
