What to ask when you call

  • Is there a plot available now, and what does it cost in total (plot, opening the grave, marker)?
  • Can the burial be in a shroud, or is a casket or liner required?
  • Which funeral home or committee usually works with you, and how fast can a burial happen?

Someone just died?

  1. Call the masjid’s funeral committee first. If the death was at home and unexpected, call 112 before anyone else.
  2. Ask them: who does the ghusl, what time the janazah prayer will be, which funeral director they work with, and whether there is a plot in a Muslim cemetery or section.
  3. Then take it one step at a time. What to do when a Muslim dies in Germany.
