Personal and religious items
Jews do not wear religious items or use any religious icons or symbols. Any items worn on the body are more likely to be of a personal nature, such as a Star of David (i.e. the six-pointed star displayed on the introductory page) or necklace.
Use of religious symbols
It is not appropriate to display Christian icons such as a crucifix or cross in the mortuary area when a Jewish family is using the facility. Candles are appropriate in the Jewish tradition.
