On June 7th of this year my husband passed away. We had his memorial service in the Chapel in the Woods at Kol Ami for a substantial but reasonable price. I called them to find out about Yizkor Service attendance. (A one hour service) The executive Director told me it would cost $400 for my daughter and I to attend this service due to security reasons. While it may be reasonable to know who is going to attend in advance, I question whether two people will cost that much for security. I believe that Jewish law directs that no mourner should be turned away from Yizkor worship. In the end, my daughter and I went to Yizkor Services at Woodlands Temple with friends. No charge and a welcoming atmosphere.

It's a cool thing actually, because it gives area residents a chance to chat it up and it gives the babies the opportunity to chill out and check out other babies.
