The slabs cover the body without touching it, so that when the grave is filled the earth won't be thrown directly onto the body. The body is buried in shrowds, the same for all. In Israel, nobody is buried in a talit. After the grave is closed many people like to put flowers on it. This is not an Orthodox/non-Orthodox thing, but rather an Israel/Diaspora thing. In the Diaspora it is discouraged as a custom taken from gentiles. In Israel it's not seen that way, and allowed.

I am a Masorti/Conservative rabbi living in Netanya, Israel, and I've performed countless funerals at the cemetery being seen in this funeral (the local Netanya cemetery). Orthodox and non-Orthodox rabbis alike are able to officiate at funerals here. For the most part, there aren't really any substantial differences in the way we do them. In Israel people are buried without a coffin. The slabs are not being laid on the body, but rather on a frame surrounding the body.

The lack of flowers is also a modesty thing. It is so that a family that cannot afford such things will not be ashamed.

This is a Jewish funeral...its directed by an orthodox rabbi, because the Israel rabbis organization (rabbanut) gives all the religious services to the Jewish people in Israel to fulfill the mitzvah (commandment) to burial every Jew according to the Jewish rules(Halacha).U see no coffin because the burial takes place in Israel, so them no coffin in needed because Israel is the Holy Land, but if u were outside of Israel they will put some land from Israel on your eyes and ull buried in a coffin.

Jewish people sometimes don't use coffins in funerals, but if its the law there that you have to use a coffin, they use a really simple wooden one, it comes from the belief that you should go back to the earth the same way you came, its from Genesis. And they don't use embalming fluid because it hurts the enivronment, and theirs no real point. About the flowers, most jewish people have flowers but orthodox jews believe that you shouldn't cut or kill something like flowers just to remeber someone
