FUNERAL & BURIAL PROCESS
For thousands of years, burial has been a traditional means of caring for the physical remains of a loved one. Historical precedence is one thing, but for you, burial may simply be the tradition of your family.
As a leading Islamic Funeral Service, we have experienced all kinds of situations and all kinds of families with different levels of needs. The one thing that remains common is the necessity for a proper and respectful islamic burial. Throughout our years of offering Islamic Funeral Services “Alhamdu-lillah”, we have handled situations of all kinds. From family members dying overseas, internationally, domestically to family members in need of financial support.
Traditional Service
There are several distinct parts, some of which are optional. The first part is called a visitation. A visitation is typically held the afternoon or evening before the funeral service. The visitation typically lasts about three hours, with people coming at the time best for them.
The second part is the funeral service itself. At a funeral service, the body is present in either a closed or open casket. Funerals can be held at a place of worship or another facility.
Graveside Service
Following the funeral is the graveside service. Often there will be a funeral procession from the place of the funeral to the cemetery. The family can choose to use limousines, a flower car, escorts and the funeral coach (hearse). Attendees will follow behind the funeral coach on the way to the cemetery. A simpler version of this is to simply set a time to meet at the cemetery for the interment.
Some of the necessary decisions for a funeral and burial:
Casket selection
Cemetery and plot selection
Schedule location and time of visitation
Funeral and graveside services
Request clergy or another officiant
Flower selection
How the move to the cemetery will be accomplished
Whether there will be a lowering of casket or not
Immediate Burial
An Immediate Burial is the simplest and least expensive of all the burial options.
This option is for people who wish to have no type of viewing or service.
Cost Factors
We encourage remembrance with each family according to their own traditions, culture, and financial means.
