Yeah, that's also certainly possible. Is there any information on this anywhere online? Or was it something that his family wanted to keep private?
I don't see him at Findagrave.com. The best I can do at the moment is Boston Globe, Oct 1, 2000, p.54, where it says "Raoul Berger... Memorial service Thursday Oct 12 at 3 pm in the Concord [Massachusetts] Academy Chapel... Arrangements by Joseph Dee and Son Funeral Service, Concord." That's from Newspapers.com, a pay site. ←

Have you tried contacting either the Academy or the funeral home? Here's the web page for the funeral home.
[1] They have a "contact us" tab. I didn't find any Bergers in the obituary search. Probably too far back for them to have it online. ←

Since that funeral home does cremations, there's always the possibility he was cremated. But if you call the funeral home, they might (or might not) tell you. I say "might not" because technically it's none of our business. ←

This wiki topic doesn’t appear to define the main —current and past Universally distinct qualifier - The religion and the people do not believe Jesus is the messiah. This has to be by design and is wrong.
What
Reliable sources can you
cite in support of your assertion that "the main —current and past Universally distinct qualifier - [of
Judaism is that] The religion and the people do not believe Jesus is the messiah."? To me (a non-Jew and non-Christian) this seems like something a poorly educated Christian might think from a self-centered viewpoint, but not what Jews and other non-Christians would generally take to be "the main universally distinct qualifier" (if there has to be one). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195}

"The religion and the people do not believe Jesus is the messiah. " Along with most of planet
Earth's population. Does that mean that humanity consists mostly of Jews?

Jews also do not believe that Muhammad was the one true messenger of Allah or that there are thousands of contending Hindu gods and goddesses or that studying the teachings of the Buddha allows people to transcend human suffering. Jews do not think too highly of the unusual teachings of Joseph Smith or L. Ron Hubbard. Why emphasize their thoughts about one particular Jesus?

KDDavec -- Few general belief systems are preferentially described by their adherents as merely being against something, rather than positively (in terms of what they actually do believe in). Descriptions such as "Anti-X" are more appropriate for a limited-purpose political movement (anti-smoking etc) than for a religion (see
Talk:Nontrinitarianism/Archive 1#Non- or anti- trinitarian). Furthermore, Judaism existed for at least 600 years before Jesus was born...

I don't know if Isabella is still there, but apparently everyone whose grave was rediscovered post-Revolution was moved to a crypt under the nave. For everyone else whose grave sites were known at the time of the Revolution, at Notre Dame, St-Denis, or wherever else, they were all dug up and the remains were destroyed. So there are no Pippinids buried there now, but there used to be.

JackofOz -- The phrase "to this day" might imply a persisting continuity which hasn't really existed. The knowledge of how to read both Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform texts and Egyptian hieroglyphic/hieratic/demotic texts was lost in the early centuries A.D., and not regained until the 19th century. In both Egypt and Mesopotamia, there was a change from paganism to other religions (mainly to Coptic Christianity in Egypt, but to a complex mixture in Mesopotamia) even before the rise of Islam, so that earlier polytheistic religions have basically been buried under two separate cultural waves of massive religious changes...
