At Central Mosque Rochdale we are committed to making that burden a little easier so that the deceased can be buried as quickly as possible in line with Islamic principles.

In the 1st instance upon the death of a relative or family member, contact your local family doctor who will issue death certificate. This will be required by the undertaker. Contact the mosque personnel:
