Preferred term

death-related clothing and fashion  

Definition

  • Recommended burial clothing for men and women represent an optional purchase for families when making arrangements for the deceased through funeral homes. Other than the tahrihim (white linen shrouds symbolic of equality that are traditional among Jews), the tallit (prayer shawls), and popular angel wraps and gown sets prepared for infants, contemporary burial garments do not differ from day-to-day clothing; indeed, any type clothing provided by the family is deemed to be acceptable.
