Winnipeg synagogue opens dual faith cemetery section
The Canadien Pree cemetery in Winnipeg will designate a dual faith area at Armstrong Avenue by October. A two plot remains about 8000 dollars for members and 14000 for non members. The fence and separate road will keep the section distinct and accessible for interfaith couples while preserving traditional Jewish rites. The project follows growing intermarriage and includes a non Jewish burial option with a rabbi led service and no interfaith headstone symbols.
