Eternal Gardens

Over the years as the generations of Muslims became permanent residents of the UK, additional services were required to support the needs of the community.

Initially burial requirements where setup with a minimal focus on Islamic burial requirements, largely due to the lack of know how, and ability to request the required from the councils. Sadly, minimal requirements became the norm and no further thought given to how we should really aim to bury our loved ones.

Eternal Gardens noticed a severe deterioration in burial standards mainly due to the increasing shortage of burial spaces across London. The community had to resort to reused graves, coffin burials and not facing the deceased to the Qiblah, all of which are permitted due to need, however as a community we had settled with this and left aside the ambitious aims to develop facilities which would fulfil our Sunnah rights when we pass away just as we expect to fulfil them when we are alive.

With this in mind, Eternal Gardens began developing a model which would consider the long-term burial space limitations, the desire of the community in a Sunnah burial as well as affordability.

5 years on and we can say that Alhamdulillah through Allah’s will alone, we are able to provide one of the cheapest services across South London, with one of the highest levels of maintenance whilst also catering for the Islamic requirements as much as possible through the guidance of our dedicated board of Scholars.
