Question
Asking about burial, her son said it is advisable to buy a plot in the ground, and she asks whether it must be in regular ground, or if it can be in levels. Her parents are buried in Holon, and there is a burial level above the parents. Can she buy there, or something similar, or a double plot?
Answer
It is forbidden to bury in levels. However, a double plot where one is above the other, and sixty centimeters are left between them, and both are in the ground, is permitted.
