Welcome to
Newcastle Muslim Burial
Council.
“Surely we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return”(Quran, 2:156)
We guide the family through the complete process, starting from when someone dies in hospital or at home to the actual funeral and burial. We are non-partisan and offer our service to all Muslims and all Masjids.
Newcastle Muslim Burial Council (NMBC) comprises a group of experienced volunteers who give their time to help you fulfil the requirements of UK law and the Shariah if you have lost a loved one. Your loss is our loss, and we will endeavor to assist you in your time of need. We do so with the hope of reward from Allah. The fees that we charge are only used to cover our costs and we do not operate for profit.
We have links with the NHS, local authorities and Masjids, helping to ease the process of obtaining the relevant paperwork when someone dies, organising the plot at the appropriate graveyard, fulfilling the washing and shrouding of the deceased, arranging the Janazah prayers, and completing the burial.
We also have a private ambulance to transport the deceased from the place of death to the places chosen for washing, shrouding, Janazah and burial.
