Funeral Services

Every soul has to taste death. It is on the Day of Judgement that you shall be paid your rewards in full. So, whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has really succeeded. The worldly life is nothing but an illusionary enjoyment. (3:185)

The ISNRV can assist with the following funeral needs:

​

  • Provide nearby funeral home addresses, cemetery addresses, and contact information

  • Inform the community about the loss; ask for duas and Janazah prayer timings

  • Assist with zakah committee funding if the family is unable to pay for the funeral and burial

  • Help coordinate or assist with washing of the deceased (if needed and if volunteers are available)

  • Provide kafan (burial shroud), if needed

  • Arrange the salaatul janazah (funeral prayer) at the masjid

  • Assist at the cemetery with the rituals or dua if volunteers available at the time

  • Continue to follow-up after the funeral if the family needs any assistance​
