Islamic Burial Services in Kent

Compassionate Islamic Burial Services

Following Islamic traditions. At Hussain Hashim Memorial Gardens, we understand the sacred nature of Islamic burial practices and provide services that comply with Shariah and tradition. We are committed to helping families honour their loved ones with dignity and respect.

Located within the peaceful grounds of Bluebell Cemetery in Halstead, Kent, our dedicated Muslim section is on unconsecrated ground and provides a serene, respectful final resting place. We liaise with your chosen funeral director and imam and guide families with patience and clarity.

Our Islamic Burial Services include

  • Qibla-aligned burial plots

    All graves are oriented toward Qibla in accordance with Islamic tradition, and there is a Qibla marker on site confirming alignment.

  • Immediate burials, with 24/7 support

    We arrange same-day or next-day burials, including weekends, where possible. Please call to confirm today’s timings. Our phone is answered 24/7.

  • Janazah: covered or graveside

    Families may hold Janazah in our covered outdoor area or at the graveside, then proceed directly to burial.

  • On-site Ghusl & Kafan

    Ritual washing (Ghusl) and shrouding (Kafan) are available on site, handled with modesty and care.

  • Shroud or coffin; family participation

    Shroud-only or coffin burials are supported, and family backfilling is welcome.

  • Double-depth family plots

    Each plot allows two burials. The plot price is paid once; the second burial carries only the interment (digging) fee. Under-18s: no charge.

  • Woodland burials

    A natural setting is available; Qibla alignment can be arranged in the woodland area on request.

  • Private community sections

    By arrangement we can create dedicated areas for larger communities (with gated access and naming rights) and support pre-purchase/payment plans.
