Sanhedrin burial
Share
In the days of the Sanhedrin, they used to bury the dead in pits. Up to 3 graves per wall.
A Sanhedrin tombstone is attached to each such burial chamber and serves as a symbol of the gathering place in memory of the dead.
There are many types of stones that can commemorate the deceased in a dignified way.
There are also designs that can add uniqueness to its condition.
The price of Sanhedrin burial tombstones is lower than field burial tombstones (on the ground) due to lower utilization of resources.
What may increase the price of the tombstone is the manner of the inscription and the type of inscription on the tombstone.
Due to weather changes and various natural disasters, Sanhedrin burial tombstones, like any other tombstone, may wear out, as well as the marble sides.
For this reason, Sanhedrin burial tombstones require maintenance every few years by professionals who know how to renovate tombstones (unlike granite tombstones, which are known to hardly need renovation due to the stone's resistance to nature and the damages of time).
In most cemeteries, the burial areas are under a roof, which protects the stone from the damage of time, so that all options are open to the family, both in terms of the type of stone or marble and the type of letters.
