Islam teaches us specific methods by which to deal with the passing of our fellow human beings.

There are rules by which we have to conduct appropriate prayers, preparation and burial.

Bereaved families are not always familiar with the spiritual and legal requirements around bereavement.

At the Bolton Council of Mosques we have established a fully supported burial service for the Muslim community that meets both these requirements.

Our Charges:

• Enhanced DBS Check: £60 (Volunteers: £10)

• Standard DBS Check: £32 (Volunteers: £10)
