Anyone, but it is usually a family member of the deceased
Yes. Especially so at a non-Jewish funeral. However, a Non-Jew should not lead an Unveiling for a deceased Jew, even though it may be permissible in certain circumstances.
This is typically a Maori or Islander custom rather than New Zealanders in general. Usually an unveiling is held a year after the burial and of course it is the unveiling of the headstone. I think it is a good custom. Apart from any other reason this is the end of the year of 'firsts' after the loss of a family member. The first birthday, Easter, Christmas, Anniversary, Grandchild, holiday etc without that person. That is rather a large milestone in the whole grieving process.
The bonds love creates are eternal. Ours is the blessing of memory, through which the lives of our departed continue to be with us. Please join us as we reflect and unveil the headstone of Mara Van Der Westhuizen
