Home to Grave – Peace of mind

Funeral prayer services (the Janāzah) are held at the mosque and can be arranged via Central Funeral Services. We conduct the preparation (Ghousal) of bodies for funerals/burials and supply the casket and all other amenities that are required to manage the funeral arrangements/preparations.

We have bespoke facilities to wash the deceased (Ghousal area) and also the ability to maintain and store the deceased in our purpose built mortuary that houses cold storage units, similar to what you may find in a hospital mortuary.

The mosque ensures that the service aspect of a funeral is carried out as best as possible before the departed is taken to the cemetery.

Ghousal Services

Ghousal Service is provided by a dedicated team of brothers and sisters, majority of the brothers were trained by Late Haji Mohammad Ilyas (who had over 30 year’s experience).

The sisters have also been trained by those who have had over 20 years of experience.

Both the brothers and sisters who lead or manage the ghousal have intricate knowledge and experience of Ghousal practices in accordance with sunnah.

Central Funeral Services can ensure a member of staff is available to lead the process of giving guidance during the ghousal/wash, which takes place at our purposely designed ghousal/mortuary area.

We can also call on sister’s from the Yemeni and Somali community to help with the ghousal/wash if the family of the deceased request so.

If you require any of these services then please make the funeral director aware at time of arrangement.
