READ INFORMATION BELOW FOR DIRECTIONS - YOU CAN CALL (612) 707-7080 ANY TIME WITH QUESTIONS
Death at Home
If you have had a death at home, you must first call 911 and report it. They will notify the local medical examiner who will contact you with how to proceed. Once the medical examiner has made the determination that is okay for the funeral home to come, give them our name & number (Minnesota Islamic Cemetery Association 612-707-7080). We will contact you after they notify us and discuss when you would like for us to come to your home.
If they were on hospice, notify your hospice nurse. The hospice nurse will notfiy us and we will contact you shortly after.
Nursing Home
If you loved one was living in a nursing home, contact us directly at 612-707-7080 with when you would like for us to come transport to the mosque. If the nursing home would prefer to contact us first, give them the same number and we will contact you shortly after.
Hospital or Medical Examiner
If a death occurs in a hospital, take the time you would like with your loved one and then call us at 612-707-7080. Also, be sure to give the hospital our name and phone number (Minnesota Islamic Cemetery Association 612-707-7080). Once you are finished visiting with your loved one, they will take the body to a cooled holding facility where we are able to come and transport to the mosque. If there is any delay of burial, we often times will use that cooled holding area until the morning of burial.
If your loved one is at the medical examiner, call us at 612-707-7080. We will arrange for transportation and may need to speak briefly to the closest next of kin to get authorization.
