Muslim Burial Fund
We try our best to help the needy families to cover the cost of the funerals as not everyone can afford it especially those with no legal status and Muslim reverts who have no family support. Therefore we have setup a Muslim Burial Fund to support the needy members of the Muslim community. We have supported many individuals with burial support.
CSMA Birmingham carefully assesses the individual needs and offers advice with grants, loans and raising money. We help in burial planning and if possible we contribute towards the burial for those who eligible for Zakat or who have no family support.
On average, a funeral costs £3,000 minimum in UK and prices are increasing every year. Prices for funerals in Birmingham and London can range from £4,000 onwards.
The UK Government can help with funeral expenses through the social fund if the applicant is eligible but these funds candelay the burial as it takes between 4 to 8 weeks to process the application. Furthermore the family members who apply on behalf of the deceased must be on benefits.
