Muslim Burial Society
Services & fees

Dignified service.
Transparent fees.

We perform every aspect of Islamic burial — start to finish — and we publish what we charge. Members pay a reduced fee, in keeping with the founding spirit of the Society: a community pooling its means so that no Muslim family in Perth is alone with this burden.
