Same Day/Muslim Burials

Hounslow Council provides two dedicated Muslim sections located at the Borough Cemetery and Hatton Cemetery. Hatton Cemetery is lawn only, and the Muslim sections at Borough Cemetery have been reclassified as Traditional graves (where a full memorial is permitted).

Graves are oriented to face Mecca
Burials can take place in a shroud or a coffin
Each grave can be prepared for more than one body, if requested
Families can put the soil back in the grave themselves (backfill)

Arranging a Same day/Muslim burial

The Cemeteries office must receive a completed interment form, certificate for Burial and Cremation and the applicable fee by no later than 11am on the morning of the proposed burial date, if the burial is to take place that afternoon
Since there are several legal requirements before funeral can take place, please ensure that the death is certified and registered before you make any funeral arrangements.
