Before you book a burial
Everything a family should have ready, set out plainly. Our officers will help you complete anything that is missing — please call the office first if time is short.
Who the cemetery serves
Muslims of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah — those who follow the teachings and practice of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Burials are conducted only between 8:00 am – 6:30 pm, seven days a week, and always in accordance with Islamic burial rites.

Fees and payment
- Burial fees are payable in full before the burial takes place, unless a waiver is approved by cemetery management.
- A numbered receipt is issued for every payment received.
- A portion of every burial fee goes to the Permanent Maintenance Fund (Waqf) that keeps the grounds cared for.
- Fees are reviewed periodically to reflect operating costs, and any change is communicated to the community in advance.
- Convenient payment options are provided by the office.
Burial rights, reburial & exhumation
- Burial rights grant a family the exclusive use of a specific burial space — they do not confer ownership of the land.
- Each grave carries a unique plot number recorded against the deceased and the family.
- Bodies exhumed from other locations or cemeteries are not accepted for reburial here.
- Exhumation of a body buried at the cemetery is prohibited unless there is a valid court order, and is then carried out with the utmost respect under supervision.
Official service fees
Prices are set by the Cemetery Committee. Fee waivers may be granted for families in genuine need.
