When a family member or loved one passes away, please know that Ulu Cami stands ready to support you through this difficult time. We aim to ease the burden of arrangements by guiding you through the necessary steps for an Islamic funeral (janazah).
Here's a general overview of the process:
Initial Contact: Please reach out to the main Ulu Cami phone number for immediate guidance and support, or you may contact our mosque's recommended Funeral Home Service directly.
Funeral Home Arrangements: Our recommended Funeral Home Service will respectfully assist with all aspects of preparing the deceased for burial, including transportation from the hospital or home to our mosque for washing (ghusl) and shrouding (kafan).
Cemetery & Burial Plot: A family representative will need to visit the cemetery office to arrange for a grave location. When choosing a plot at Laurel Grove Cemetery, kindly inform them that the funeral is being arranged through Ulu Cami. This will ensure the deceased is interred in the section thoughtfully reserved for Muslim burials.
