Muslim burial also possible in Germany

Thanks to the revision of the burial law, it is now also possible to bury a deceased Muslim without a coffin in most German cemeteries. This is a great relief for Muslims in Germany. Islamic burial without a coffin has become our mission and is carried out sensitively and professionally by our staff.

In a burial without a coffin, the body is laid in the grave. One or two people climb into the grave and carefully lay the deceased on their right side. One of the two people then covers the grave with so-called “grave slabs”. These are wooden slabs that ensure that the earth does not come into direct contact with the body. The grave is then shovelled up and the Islamic burial is complete.

Islamic burial at home

Especially those who have spent many years of their lives outside their homeland feel the desire to find their final resting place in their home country. Life led generations to Germany, death leads them back home. We work together with professional forwarding companies. Their many years of experience guarantee a smooth transfer to the home country of the deceased.

Our excellent contacts with the embassies and consulates of the home countries also help to ensure that people of Islamic faith receive a Muslim funeral in their home country as quickly as possible. We take care of the various tasks and formalities required for this in a professional and competent manner. This also includes the reservation of flight tickets for accompanying persons, so that you don't have to worry about anything else in the event of a funeral.

A dignified farewell in the spirit of the deceased and their loved ones is a matter close to the heart for NORD Islamic Funerals in Hamburg.

Trained specialists are available for the Islamic washing of the dead, the funeral prayer and the saying of the prayers of supplication, to whom you can turn in confidence with your questions.
