Families may be left having to make burial arrangements at a less convenient location because of the cost. Periodically, there are calls for change by making it easier and cheaper to transfer from one burial society to another. Ideally, burial society membership should be decoupled from synagogues and joining the latter should be simply on the basis of religious conviction or community participation rather than securing a final resting-place. In theory, it could be possible to devise a national burial scheme open to every Jew with members maybe supplementing subscriptions with a small top-up to their chosen community. However, it would be hard to persuade denominations to set aside their religious differences to make such a scheme feasible.
