This is a startling new idea to me, and when I Googled, here is what I found:

I have always been impressed with this too. In my case, no one in my family is Jewish, so although what I intellectually know about the Jewish way of dying has theoretical appeal, in real life the experience of Jewish death and mourning is terra incognito to me personally.

I agree, though all of this (except for saying the mourner's Kaddish during daily, Shabbat, and High Holy Day services) is just not in my personal "world."
