At a Jewish funeral can a Non-Jew lead the unveiling of a headstone?

The rituals surrounding death and burial in Judaism are very specific. The funeral must be lead by either a rabbi or someone Jewish (in non-Orthodox communities, it can be either a Jewish man or woman). Although it might be acceptable for a non-Jew to speak at a Jewish funeral in some communities, it would never be appropriate for that person to speak on behalf of the family.

What is the relevance of the 'Shloshim' observance 30 days after a Jewish death?

Judaism has a very structured process of mourning the deceased. After the initial 7 day period of intense mourning, the mourners then progress into a 30 day period of mourning that has fewer restrictions on activities the mourners are allowed to participate in. This is to insure that the mourners are allowed the time to work through their grief over the death of a loved one.
