Liz Taylor’s Funeral — The A-List Rabbi
Crossposted from TMZ
Liz Taylor’s funeral will be officiated by a man with plenty of celebrity experience — because he’s helped bury dozens of them.
Taylor is having a traditional Jewish burial ceremony at Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, Calif., right now — and the man doing the service is Rabbi Jerry Cutler.
Cutler has presided over the funeral services for Milton Berle, Shelley Winters, Walter Matthau, Red Buttons and Jan Murray.
We’re told Cutler had met Taylor through Jon Voight, and Taylor’s family specifically requested Rabbi Cutler to do her funeral.
