At Essington Memorial Gardens, we offer a comprehensive and respectful burial service for the Sunni and Shia Muslim communities across Essington and the wider West Midlands region.
Our commitment is grounded in a deep understanding of Islamic funeral practices, ensuring that every aspect of the burial aligns with the religious traditions and needs of the families we serve.
We are well-versed in the unique requirements that must be observed, including the Islamic tradition that the burial should ideally take place within 24 hours of death.
We work closely with families and funeral directors to ensure that this can be achieved wherever possible.
Our team also ensures that graves are oriented towards the Qiblah (the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca), as required by Islamic tradition.
Essington Memorial Gardens partners with local Islamic organisations and funeral directors who are familiar with Muslim funeral rites.
We can ensure that all documentation, transport, and burial procedures are carried out efficiently and in accordance with Shariah law.
Spanning over 26 acres, Essington Memorial Gardens offers a peaceful landscaped cemetery for respectful burials.
We provide designated areas of our cemetery reserved specifically for Muslim burials with plots oriented towards Mecca.
Essington Memorial Gardens also provides seven day a week burial services, including on weekends and public holidays.
Our pre-purchasing options allow families to secure plots for the future, today.
