Funeral Services: Overview
Introduction
Hendon Mosque has been providing burial services to the Muslim community for over fifteen years.
We have a fully-equipped vehicle on standby and, subject to the availability of burial certificates, are usually able to carry out burials on the same day in almost any cemetery.
Professional Service for Men & Women
We have all the equipment, dedicated staff and qualified volunteers required to provide a full service for men and women in a manner that complies with the Shari'ah.
Furthermore, our services meet the professional standards required by the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and we have been a member of the NAFD for a number of years.
Our standard service includes:

- 48hr use of our mortuary.
- The supply of a suitable coffin/casket.

- The Imam's services upon request.
