Burial ceremony comes to an end as mourners continue arriving

The brief ceremony at the gravesides of the Salomon family comes to an end, with the Jewish custom for each of those at the funeral to partake in the burial by shoveling some of the displaced dirt onto the bodies.

Members of the public continue to arrive at the cemetery, either walking from the police roadblock near Modi’in or on municipal shuttles that are still running to the Modi’in Municipal Cemetery.
