The time immediately following the death of a loved one can be overwhelming, with grief and bereavement complicated by the seemingly endless number of tasks. For non-muslims, losing a Muslim family member can cause additional confusion on how to proceed. Jamaat Ibad Ar-Rahman can help you during these difficult times by arranging everything from picking up the body from the hospital, performing the ritual prayer on the body of the deceased (Salaatul Janazah), burying the body at a Muslim cemetery, and finally completing all the required legal paperwork.
For premature babies that do not require Ghusul and other services (just burial), the charge is $500
