Planning ahead

Record your Islamic funeral wishes with clarity and dignity.

For Muslims who may have limited family support, non-Muslim next of kin, or concerns about whether their faith will be respected after death, planning ahead can offer reassurance and give trusted people clear guidance.

How it works

A clear, supported process.

1

Tell us about your circumstances

Share your contact details, concerns and the type of support you are seeking.

2

We send the Word document

The declaration can be completed alongside the people you appoint and the required witnesses.

3

Complete and store it safely

Keep the signed original with important documents and give copies to trusted contacts or organisations.

4

Keep us updated

Tell us when it has been received, completed or if you need further guidance or a legal referral.

Your wishes

Islamic funeral arrangements

The declaration records wishes relating to ghusl, kafan, Janazah, burial without unnecessary delay and avoiding cremation or embalming.

Trusted contacts

People and organisations to contact

It provides space to name responsible people, executors, a mosque or a Muslim organisation that should be contacted.

Legal support

Referral where appropriate

Where circumstances are complex, the charity may discuss a referral to an approved legal partner once that service is fully operational.

Important to understand

This service records your request and helps the charity manage the document process. It does not automatically appoint the charity as your legal next of kin, executor or attorney, and it cannot guarantee a particular legal outcome. The declaration is not a substitute for a valid will or independent legal advice.

Where there is an immediate death or urgent dispute, contact the charity directly and seek appropriate legal or emergency guidance.
