Burial on the added day of Yom Tov

Hi,

The Talmud permits burial on the added day of Yom Tov under certain circumstances. However, today we have refrigeration techniques to preserve the body. Also, there is also great concern for unsanctioned violation of Yom Tov in preparing for the funeral. Therefore, one may not bury on the added day of Yom Tov in our times.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 3:76)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
