Too bad Epstein is not being given a traditional orthodox burial. There was no tahara and there is no chevra kadisha, or "holy society" to watch over his body.it's orthodox jewish law..he's indicated this when he was taken into custody for just such an occasion (his death).
there's a whole bunch of laws associated with orthodox jewish tradition..they send someone to watch the body, 'washers' and they wrap the body in their burial shroud..must be buried within 24 hours.
if you have an interest, just google orthodox jewish tradition burial..it's very interesting and all groups have a different (yet similar) process.
like muslims have to be buried laying head north to feet south with the body slightly facing east. women are not allowed to attend and must stand back at the road..even those married or children. only men are allowed at a muslim grave site at burial.
this is all very high liability and one reason i chose not to pursue.
Don't let the fact that you don't know what you are talking about stop you from posting. They funny. I love it when people who use the term "Jew-bastard" opine on Jewish rituals.
