Planning ahead ensures your loved ones are buried according to the Sunnah.
Whilst it may feel overwhelming, funeral planning is simple. At Eternal Gardens, you can make advanced funeral arrangements for yourself and loved ones, ensuring your and their wishes are fulfilled during this important transition back to our Lord. The main benefits include:
- Burial costs are covered and unaffected by yearly inflation
- Family members won’t have to investigate options and make pressurised decisions at an already difficult time
- Arrangements are in place, so family members will have a clear framework to follow
- Pre-purchasing multiple plots allows family members to be buried together whilst saving significantly on burial costs
Standard
Suitable for the burial of one or two people.
Our standard plot types are located in the middle grounds; a short walk from our pathways.
Premium

Our premium plot types are the first row of plots located along our pathways, making it easily accessible for families to visit loved ones.

Preparing for death
(Surah Al 'Ankabut 29:57)
“Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.”
We are encouraged to think about death and to prepare for the next life. Being aware and having a healthy respect for death allows us to be in a stronger frame of mind. The older we get; we should ask Allah SWT to forgive our sins and allow us to leave in a better state than when we entered this world.
Planning for important life events ahead of time is completely natural, and funeral arrangements are no different.
The Prophet S.A.W said:
“The one who remembers death the most and is best in preparing for it. Those are the wisest.” (Ibn Majah: 4259)
With an increasing lack of burial space, rising costs and limited focus on Islamic requirements, funeral planning has never been so important. We want to ensure that you and your loved ones are provided with a modest and dignified Islamic funeral, regardless of the situation.
We spend our lives attempting to practice Islam the best we can. Funeral planning helps us put measures in place to increase our chances of achieving best practice during the most crucial transition to Ākhirah (hereafter).
