    Basic, compliant designs for those whose local regulations require a casket.
  • Headstone & marker catalog
    Simple, modest gravestones consistent with cemetery and religious guidelines.

    Map-based search so family abroad can find and view loved ones’ graves.

Common questions

Is this purchase Sharia-compliant?

Our contracts and process are structured in consultation with local scholars to avoid interest (riba) and ensure clear, transparent ownership of the grave space within cemetery regulations.

What if I need to arrange burial very quickly?

Call our urgent line listed below. We will prioritize your case, help you select a grave, and coordinate with the cemetery and your funeral home to expedite arrangements.

Can we purchase multiple family plots together?

Yes. Our à-la-carte model allows you to reserve adjacent graves for spouses, siblings, or multi-generation family sections, subject to availability. For 2+ graves, we can arrange interest-free payment plans.

What does maintenance actually include?

Maintenance covers basic landscaping, tidy pathways, and gentle cleaning of the headstone/marker. It does not include elaborate structures or decorations, to remain in line with cemetery and Islamic guidelines.

How are donations used?

Donations first help subsidize graves for families with financial hardship. Additional funds support improvements to the Muslim section, community outreach, and administrative costs.
