After writing InterfaithFamily.com's Guide to Death and Mourning for Interfaith Families, we realized that interfaith couples face added challenges in dealing with death. These challenges include differing 
cultural expectations about how to bury people and how to comfort mourners, differing religious customs and to a certain extent, traditional practices of the Jewish community that are discriminatory toward interfaith families in mourning.
It's important for people in interfaith families to discuss how they plan to deal with death before the issue is pressing. We hope that this new discussion packet for interfaith couples called Talking About Death and Mourning (PDF) (Also available in Word format) will be helpful. You can use it in a discussion group or in your family. Tell us whether it works for you.
InterfaithFamily is the premier resource supporting interfaith couples exploring Jewish life and inclusive Jewish communities. We offer educational content; connections to welcoming organizations, professionals and programs; resources and trainings for organizations, clergy and other program providers; and our new InterfaithFamily/Your Community initiative providing coordinated comprehensive offerings in local communities.
If you have suggestions, please contact network@interfaithfamily.com.
