Cathcart Cemetery (Muslim Section)

Today all Muslim deaths in Glasgow and the surrounding areas are reported to the Glasgow Central Mosque (GCM) office. These deaths in general occur at the hospital or in some exceptional cases at home where patients have been sent home with the knowledge that death may occur.

Cathcart Cemetery is a cemetery in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, which was opened in 1878. It is named after the nearby neighbourhood of Cathcart on the southern outskirts of Glasgow, but does not actually fall within the city boundaries. It is bounded to the east by the White Cart Water, with Linn Park on the opposite bank. Other surrounding residential areas to the west are Muirend and Netherlee. The grounds of Holmwood House, a mansion designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, are located a short distance to the north.

The 43 acre site is divided into two sections, the older section and the newer Linn extension, divided by Netherlee Road. There are war graves in both sections; a total of 243 Commonwealth service personnel of both World Wars are buried here. Cathcart Cemetery is one of the few multi-faith burial grounds in the Glasgow area, housing Hebrew and Muslim sections in the Linn Extension.
