Mortuary Facilities: Our Services and Facilities
The not-for-profit funeral services team is committed to serving the Muslim community by offering free advisory, mortuary services, and compassionate support to individuals and families during times of loss. We recognize that the loss of a loved one is a profoundly challenging experience, and our dedicated team is here to provide guidance and assistance every step of the way.
Families have the flexibility to choose their preferred team to wash and dress the deceased under the guidance of their chosen scholar. Our mortuary facilities are equipped with essential amenities to ensure a dignified and respectful preparation process. These facilities include:
- A spacious cool room is designed to accommodate up to six deceased individuals, providing a peaceful and serene environment for loved ones to gather.
- A dedicated washing area is equipped with everything necessary for washing and dressing the body according to Islamic values.
- A kafan (dressing) area for preparing the deceased for burial, ensuring they are adorned with dignity and respect.
- Water tanks can be filled with camphor (kafoor) and Jujube (barre or neem), essential elements of the washing process.
- An instant hot water system to facilitate bathing and washing procedures during cold weather, ensuring utmost comfort and cleanliness.
- Separate facilities, including toilets and showers, are designated for the washing and dressing teams.
- Additional amenities such as toilets and a shower are specifically designed for individuals with disabilities, with separate accommodations for males and females.
- Free kafan (shrouds) are available upon request for adults, minors, or both, alleviating the financial burden on bereaved families during this challenging time.
While we provide comprehensive mortuary services, families are responsible for purchasing grave sites at Fawkner Cemetery, Flinders Memorial Park in Lara, Victoria (Geelong), Donnybrook Cemetery, Kalkallo, Victoria, Bunurong Memorial Park (Dandenong South), or their preferred cemetery, and for directly covering the associated costs.
Note: Families experiencing financial hardship and unable to afford grave or funeral director fees are encouraged to contact us for assistance.
